Downloading from uniwide, few questions... (1 Viewer)

[Omie Jay]

If i brought in my laptop, can i just connect to uniwide internet, or do i give my student number and unipass to log on, whats the process?

If i were to logon everytime, is there a download limit? What happens if u exceed this limit?

Also, if i were to download torrents (i use azureus) is there any way i could be caught? Would i be banned from accessing uniwide? Any way to prevent being caught? Any settings i need to change in my azureus program, or on my laptop, to make me invisible/unnoticeable?
I wont be downloading heaps, just music every now and then, but ive been wanting to get some dbz seasons, that'll be big.............

Answers/suggestions anyone?

Much appreciated

you login using your student id/unipass

 

[Omie Jay]

Cool, so how about download limits?

 

[darkwolfzx]

no limits really, its up to you, and they might come after you if you overdo it

 

[shinji]

not sure if azeurus allows oyu to do this, but in Utorrent, you can enable protocol encryption which would encrypt the data that you would be transferrring just to be safe.


just don't download torrents on uni comps. they can see...

It most certainly does. I believe it's the last option dialogue in the connection settings group.

ROFL ive downloaded 16GB of Movies. and nobody has said a thing.

 

[Starcraftmazter]

I don't think they have a hard limit on it, it's probably more like a fair use policy of sorts.

Actually, if it's your first time connecting to uniwide, you need to reset your unipass in order to log in.
