the linux dvd downloading? Yeah, they are really good about that kind of
stuff. Its not like there is one to download every day or anything like
that.

As I said somewhere else, they don't even block p2p but just put it in the
lowest priority bit of their traffic shaper, which I believe makes it
unbearably slow. I'm sure soon, with all these lawsuits, they will start
cracking down on illegal stuff, but they would definitely not frown at linux
downloading as it creates more intelligent students! (apart from me).

I just hope SIP/RTP is up in the priority list, cos I've invested in the
sipura and dect phones already :-S
