 Re: downloading from a college campus?

Or is there something else that I need to do to get this working? | Your university could be using a traffic shaper to make gnutella upload/download traffic very slow. There are companies making a living of selling software / hardware that blocks p2p clients.
If no download ever reaches 1 or 2kbytes/s your university is probably restricting p2p traffic (like most universities btw.).
