File sharing software such as Kazaa doesn work. Why?
McMaster neither supports, nor endorses the use of file sharing applications. These programs have a tendency to monopolize residence bandwidth, and thus negatively affect network performance. Regardless, McMaster does not prevent the operation of this kind of software. Rather, file sharing applications are assigned a low priority on the network so as not to interfere with other traffic. If file sharing software appears to not work, it may be caused by the network bandwidth being fully utilized by other, higher priority applications.
