Sorry if my subject line is a little misleading-- I'm not against p2p file sharing in principle. It's just that my school's network is at a crawl, and I think p2p is to blame. One dorm out of eight continually uses 1/3 of the entire campus' bandwidth.
The people in ITS have yet to figure out how to block the new Morpheus client, so their solution.... pull the plug for the entire dorm during business hours. This response is understandable from their POV, but it prevents me from doing useful work from my room.
I thought I might help our IT dept by doing a little research. I thought you guys might help:

-Is there an effective way of blocking the new morpheus client?
-How could they unilaterally block access to the Gnutella and Fastrack networks?

I can't even download Morpheus (within a reasonable amount of time) to play with it!

Thanks,
Gloopy
