Are we allowed to download torrents on campus?

You're not "allowed" to use the campus network for any illegal activities so it depends what you're downloading.

Whether you'll be able to, thats another story. I believe they really clamped down on it this year.

You can, but you have to be aware of the daily 2GB transfer limit; always check DC++ before you try and torrent anything.

torrents and limeware are given low priority by UTS and therefore you will get very very low speed when u try to download from them....and ofcourse its illegal!

Not everything downloaded through torrents is illegal and using the Bit Torrent service itself is not illegal.

Yeah, this is important to remember, and is a key argument against internet throttling by ISP's.

My ISP provides me with a VPN, and I used it for torrenting in my first year and had epic download speeds

I don't know about you, but I use bittorrent to download "Linux ISO's"
