my school's basically populated by a group of idiots.. before napster.. no one but me and my friend knew what .mp3's were.. however.. last yr the word that napster was around got out.. and our school's bandwidth got flooded cuz of napster traffic.. we banned it last semester and bandwidth usage dropped 65%.. they switched ips during the summer so we had to ban it again in Nov.. bandwidth usage dropped 75%.. (we have 6T1's for 2200 students).. so i've been enjoying a fairly good ping for my online gaming and web surfing...

here's my rant.. the admin's pushing to unban napster cuz of all these idiots ****ing.. their *solution* is to install a bandwidth shaper that limits traffic (dunno if it's by protocol or file extension) from 7AM-5PM then let these idiots run rampant after that.. i don't wanna go back to the days where CNN took literally 3-4mins to load.. where i could've had a better ping on a 56K then on the 6T1's.. @#$@##$@#.. ****s.. need someone to DOS napster..

oh.. forgot.. next semester's basically going to be pretty easy.. thus i had planed lots of hours dedicated to playing games.. (the surrounding town's population is 4000 people.. so going out isn't an option

I know what you mean WB. We have a setup something like that. UCSC has started this web cache thing where it limits bandwith. It has pissed me off on more then one occation. Napster is no good to me since I got kicked off so I have been able to get my music fix in otherways. I almost long for the day that napster gets shut down just so that I can have my super fast connection back. I miss my days of 33 ping in CS.

Chances are that your school has it's own news server set up. Since it's on the internal network, you wouldn't need to utilize the T1 to access it. Might as well take advantage of it and hit up the Usenet newsgroups.

I never used napster in college (of course, it wasn't around). I just went lurking on the shares for mp3's.

If I wanted a particular song, I either put up a request on my mp3 ftp site (I had one on my 486) or see if Scour had it.
