My best connectivity sometimes is behind a firewall at school. It's a |
| 2 |
pretty paranoid firewall, although for pretty understandable reasons. |

I have trouble accessing many types of content that are useful for |
| 4 |
teaching (streaming video, for example), and while my students might |
| 5 |
chat with other students around the world about migrating birds, the |
| 6 |
kneejerk reactionary firewall obviously blocks that. |

As a good citizen of the school citizen and a good netizen, I wonder |
| 9 |
where to stand on bittorrent. It seems like goodness to me; but is |
| 10 |
there any way to even dl a torrent as a dl? Is that something |
| 11 |
bizaare? How would you handle that? If I mention it to the Powers |
| 12 |
that Be, such as they are, I will get a stern look and next week my |
| 13 |
connection will mysteriously disappear. |

I guess it's dumb to ask, but what do people do and what do people |
| 16 |
think about this? |

I consider that the golden rule requires that if I like a program I |
| 26 |
must share it with other people who like it. |
