Using Soulseek on campus

SuperCreep · 08.18.2008, 03:37 PM

Has anyone ever had trouble using Soulseek on campus? I'm transferring to a new university this upcoming semester and I'm going to be living on campus for the first time. I'd really like to continue using Soulseek like I usually do at home, but I don't want to get in trouble or have my internet turned off or anything of that nature.

depends on the security systems they use, and what kind of bandwith you will get, I think

I doubt they'd let you use it.

Just search blogs for megaupload/rapidshare/whatever links.

Yeah, after talking to a lot of people about this, that seems like it's my best bet. I can probably get my brother to download something off slsk for me, archive it, and send it if I can't blog it.

My school offers Ruckus (it's an iTunes-ish store offered free to a lot of colleges.) It has an alright selection and I'd have no problem using it if everything wasn't in .WMA, which is a completely useless format to me.

Anyway, thanks for the responses!

My Soulseek just won't work on 'campus', and I can't find any reason for it. Hmmm. Maybe a bandwith thing.

Walleddddddd.

I love using my girlfriend's laptop on her campus. I download shit at like 500k/sec no problem.

i know at my university (nottingham, uk) almost all file sharing sites are blocked, i can kind of access soulseek though i don't seem to get many results (it might be to do with me using a mac though).

My searches tend to run a little weird on campus, but Slsk still runs fine. Torrents are blocked though and I couldn't be arsed to work my way around them. Not that it matters anymore as I'll be off campus in the fall.

i didn't realise colleges blocked sites, that kinda sucks

What do you need to download shit for?
Does yr shit come out as 1s and 0s?
Like digital shit???
I mean how can you convert shit into any digital format?
Do you need an iphone application for this? (like ishit for instance)
I'd only do it if i can get the smell right? If not it's useless.

I was referring to a mars volta album I accidentally downloaded once.

greedrex · 06.07.2009, 08:17 AM
