Okay, so I’ve heard all the horror stories and know that using torrents in universities is a bad idea. So, my question is this: if I use sites such as Rapidshare and Megaupload to download music, movies, and so forth, can the university see what exactly I’m downloading and will they care/ take action against me?
Chosen Answer:
yes they can take action using there broadband for non-academic usage, since most college/universities will have a usage policy what you can and cant do, and yes they can monitor everyting you do on the machine and most of the time there is nothing to show that they are remote monitoring you, since they will have broadband monitoring their servers and if they see a high spike they will just disconnect and better have a good answer.
