Plus the entire dorm was on a domain and most people didn't know anything about sharing or security back then........maybe I should leave it at that.....
Ah those were the days....
As far as FIOS speeds, I do get to take advantage of the 15 down because I use newsgroups along with a download manager, for multiple connections at once. When I was doing torrents the upload was quite nice to keep you in good standing on monitored sites.  But yeah, 30 is not really needed right now, unless you have several computers that need bandwidth at the same time. |
Somehow I missed this one earlier today...
Yeah you're right though. The file sharing around there was rampant. They really closed off a lot of ports finally sometime in 2002. I was only there 3 semesters in the dorms. Of course if you had a good port scanner and some know-how.....
Oh and the counterstrike on the local dorm server was the best, thig
