Peer to Peer Software
(KaZaA, Aimster, Audiogalaxy, DirectConnect, eDonkey, Filetopia, MGCP, Napster, Blubster, Gnutella, PeerEnabler, BitTorrent, or anything else you can find…) Hanover College does NOT allow P2P (Peer-to Peer) software on our network. We have no way of distinguishing between legal P2P traffic and illegal P2P traffic, therefore we cannot allow ANY P2P applications. Issues of legality and bandwidth usage force us to have this policy. If we discover you are using P2P software, your account will be disabled.
