Can I use Peer-to-Peer or file sharing services, such as BitTorrent?
Peer-to-peer services are not supported applications. Remember that HW-ResNet is provided for the use of all students living in Residences and so all users should respect their fellow students and not do anything that would cause the overall network performance and service to deteriorate. HW-ResNet utilises sophisticated network management and monitoring tools, and specific applications can be limited and also tracked to individual users. The University reserves the right to prohibit access to HW-ResNet for anyone in violation of the HW-ResNet Acceptable Use Policy or HW-ResNet Fair Use Policy contained in the Terms & Conditions document. Students should also be aware of copyright laws and restrictions when sharing music or video files.
