The bioshock pc demo came out today and I totally want to play it, but it's like >1gig in size. Would I get busted from downloading it here at uni and copying it to my usb drive to take it home?

nah its cause all the cunts in this room are looking at myspace and playing flash games

EF14 has always been strangely slow imo.

The other day I saw this guy with a wireless connection getting a few Mbits, I was hoping I'd get that.

If they're playing flash games the connection has to be atleast 100kbs...

ive got it and the expansion if you want a copy

I was a big fan of the first so I jumped on it as soon as it came out. It's good for a bit of fun.

You won't get busted unless you download music or are stupid and download using limewire or something.

At uni I always stream tv shows and crap like that and the uni hasn't mentioned anything.

And the speeds are dependant on the sites you download from. Sites like Apple give really great speeds whereas others struggle to hit 100 kb/s

i've never bothered to d/l music at uni because..well..who cares about d/ling music at home, they're only small files..but i'm pretty sure the uni wouldn't give a shit if you were d/ling music/using limewire :S surely they'd care more if you were d/ling movies and stuff
