I don’t miss the seemingly arbitrary restrictions from university IT admins.

A university I attended blocked all BitTorrent traffic at the protocol level. They theoretically allowed exceptions per their policy but when I applied for some bioinformatics images to be allowed they said they would only allow specific files for a 24 hour window. I applied for a file and got no response. I applied for 1000 files and got no response. Then I gave up.



>Then I gave up.

I'm surprised you didn't set up your own system to work around the stupid restrictions.
