you'll need to set the proxy/firewall settings. you can also try a program like http tunnel, but then you'll need a crack.

I'm at uni too using their network with a nice speedy internet connection and I can use Soulseek (www.slsk.org) OK, except that uploads from me seem to fail a lot (oh well!). Kazaalite works fine as well, except that it has f-all quality dance music available.

I'm at a college too, it works pretty well. I can do both Kazaa and SoulSeek, but yeah, upload speeds are pathetic, if they work at all.

Nottingham blocks out all P2P and there is no way around it...

I just found this website and thank god. I have been looking all over for a place like this. I recently got into Trance music not too long ago.

I remember when I was a frosh in college in the mid 90's and the whole internet boom was just happening. Dl speeds were amazing then. But now...everyone's online at school. Speeds are horrible now. Especially since I am back homee on a 56k.

I think if you want to connect to P2P network you should do that at home, where you can't get anybody in shit, Universities and businesses have firewalls against P2P for a good reason, one of them would be that they can get sue for millions $$$$ by the RIAA, let's not give these guys (RIAA) any reasons to sue anymore people because of their greediness.

WORD TO THE MOTHER!

When I was in halls we had real problems with the bastards blocking the proxys that P2P systems were using. The only one they didnt get was direct connect. Now I'm in a house and by a cruel twist of fate (!!) direct connect is the only one that doesnt work??/
So In use
Soulseek
Kazaa

To the guy who started this thread - try direct connect it should escape the Uni's prying eyes. Go to www.neomodus.com

I use direct connect and people always bitch about my upload speed... it's sometimes as low as 15 bytes/sec... then again i also get people downloading off of me at like 600k/sec and they never complain ...

mmmm.. delicious...

Also you can try running DC just locoly at your university. That is what we do at mine, because although we have fast internet connection, the local network is ALL fiber optic cable at GibE speeds (thats 1,000 Mb/sec) all the way to every desktop. That way you get to all the content that is on campus without swaming the internet connection. We have been doing it for a few weeks now and it works great (we also limit the IPs to be only local so noone off campus can get in and leech).

Try DC++ if you cant get Direct Connect to work. You dont even have to install it. I ran it from a CD until the Uni started monitoring connections.

But I got 15Gb of stuff before they clamped down.
