Is peer-to-peer file sharing allowed on ResNet?
No, not if you’ve configured your computer to act as a file server. Aside from the possibility of serious consequences due to copyright infringement, this type of file sharing has a negative impact on the performance of NYU-NET. ResNet policy states: “You are not to run any services (i.e., ftp services, listservers, publish MP3s using Napster, publish files via generic file services, etc.) via this residence hall connection except http servers.” For more information, please read the peer-to-peer FAQs available at www.nyu.edu/its/faq/.
