Does anyone know to what extent the Univ blocks torrents? the Last univ I was in just blocked the downloading of any file ending in .torrent but you could change it to .txt and change it back once finished. Or does UM throttle the actual connection? suggestions?

Also how many people use personal routers in the dorms? I know its not allowed as it creates network conflicts with multiple ip addresses and the such but at my last school I just set the router properly to accept the ip address provided by the network and essentially set it up as no different from the univ routers just with a private password. I even disabled the ssid name broadcast so that if you scanned for it you couldn’t see the network without the name and password. thx
