Hello, My university are complete tight gits with the internet. They have blocked streaming sites such as BBC iPlayer and the like citing the tenancy agreement in which it says 'you pay for an internet service which allows you light browsing and research'. Now they've done something which means I can't get on Soulseek. Any of you internet types know how I can get around this? Thanks for your help. |

This is in my house by the way, university provides the internet to it and we have no access to the router or modem. |

so your not on uni grounds? and they pay for a connection to your house!? write and say you need to p2p with your other uni colleagues , that your research is suffering , as a result you are having to use royal mail to send large files and data. and demand funds for this . You are being forced to live outside the communication revolution. with these additional funds sent to you , buy a t3 connection ! serious ting. |

It's a university managed house meaning we pay them and they provide us with a terrible service. At the beginning of the year I tried to convince everyone to put in for our own internet but they weren't bothered. Now everything's been blocked and theres only 4 months left until I finish. |

you can enter urls into it and bypass ...so there must be a way to bypass the p2p restriction. only to help your uni research of course. |

seedbox] use a seed box to down load from p2p. then when your file is finished and in the seedbox, download it onto your machine from there. some seedboxes are free others cost. |

when I was in some school they had some stupid system that was blocking sites etc if you were surfing on ip given to you by dhcp.. you had to configure your connection manually to browse freely but probably your problem won't be so primitive |

I don't even have university internet, yet my lovely ISP has blocked slsk. My internet connection is also as slow as sin. |

your best bet would be to first see if manually setting up your own dns servers helps (this is done through the operating system on your computer). i use the public google dns servers (as well as opendns, but that's slower) but i'm not sure how fast they are in the uk. just google instructions on how to manually set your dns server for your operating system then google for the best dns server in your area. is a great resource, but you have to update your dns servers pretty regularly because that list is very dynamic. hope this helps! |
