<p>Does anybody know UCSB’s internet data transfer limitation rate?</p>
<p>You cannot torrent if you are wondering about that. And AFAIK theres a system where students can share files on a central network within the campus so you can get your legally questionable items from there instead of torrenting.</p>
<p>There is. I believe between the hours of 1pm-1am you have unlimited bandwidth up to 768mb. After that, you’re rate limited to 512kb/sec.</p>
<p>Between 1am and 1pm, it’s unlimited bandwidth.</p>
<p>If you exceed the 768mb limit for consecutive days, you’re rate limited the 3rd day for the entire day despite what time it is. I believe it’s the 3rd day, it might be the fourth. </p>

<p>So how fast is it when not throttled?</p>

<p>So there is no torrenting at all allowed on the school network?</p>
<p>Guess I’ll have to tether from my phone if I need to torrent, I guess.</p>
<p>I believe if you’re caught torrenting, you’ll be blocked from internet access for 3 days for the first offence (it might be for a week). The second offence, for the quarter; if towards the end of the quarter, then for the next quarter. I don’t know what happens on your third offence.</p>
<p>My roommate freshman year got a month ban for torrenting music. Yeah, I’ve also heard that strike two was a quarter ban. Stay away from public torrents…there are others ways to safely download things from resnet</p>
<p>The internet can be pretty bad at times. At least in 08/09, streaming a whole movie on Netflix was asking a lot. If you want to transfer files, use DC++.</p>
<p>UCSBpremed can you use private trackers for torrenting? Or is it all non kosher?</p>
<p>I knew a few people last year who pulled tons of data with private trackers and nothing happened to them. I’m not sure about the quality of the trackers they used though.</p>
<p>So basically we just pirate on the intranet (resnet)?</p>
<p>Sounds okay.</p>
<p>I’ll stick to ripping music off youtube.</p>
<p>I can’t find where it says there’s a download cap. Any help?</p>
<p>So what about megaupload links? Can I download stuff off of there?</p>
<p>Yeah, megaupload/rapidshare works without any problems. You’ll be blocked by the dl cap though unless you do it during the unlimited time block. tr1p7s put all the dl cap info above.</p>
<p>Yeah, but the URL doesn’t work.</p>
<p>Google ucsb resnet. Click on the first link. Click Contact Resnet. Click Online Help Desk. Click Status.</p>
<p>Thanks UCSBpremed! Looks like I wont be having many problems with finding files if I can use RS and MU. Also do I get my own IP or do i share it with everyone on the network?</p>

<p>Once I click Online Help Desk, the page doesn’t load. Does it require a connection from the UCSB campus?</p>
