Back when I dormed at UW they had a very similar thing. They would just decrease the speeds on P2P programs so the most you could download would be about 5 Kb/s unless you happened to connect to someone in the university network, then your DL rate skyrocketed.

You can't get around it by changing your port (Unless, like I said, the University IT staff are a bunch of noobs, which I doubt). You're probably SOL.
did you guys not have DC++ back then? I dorm at UW right now and i can use bearshare. but its slow, so I use DC++. ------- fast downloads, tons of ----.
