How can I download stuff using a torrent at university?
Q. Basically I'm studying at university and I would like to download stuff using Vuze and i have a straight ethernet connection to my computer from the wall. University currently blocks anything being downloaded via Vuze and my room mates have similar problems using utorrent and bit torrent is there any way of going about this?

A. Yeah, stick to non P2P downloads. Universities often block that traffic because they can get in trouble because of students downloading copyrighted things.
If the thing you're looking for is not a commercial, copyrighted product that you'd normally buy (i.e. a Linux disto), consider going to the actual website to download it.
If you're trying to download music, movies, software, etc. illegally, consider actually buying the product instead.

Do you know of a good bandwidth limiting software that's easy to use for a little home network?
Q. I have a little home network consisting of like 4 users. One of the users uses utorrent all the time and eats up all the bandwidth. It gets so bad web browsing becomes near impossible to browse the web for any of the other 3 users. I need a program that can allow me (one of the network users) to set a bandwidth limit for this abusive user so we can browse the web normally!!!

A. Other than doing what the original answerer says, you can only control the bandwidth with an external router, that has those features. I use a Linux-based router/firewall that has those capabilities, but it does take some learning to set up such a router - it's not for "common" folk...
If you have the skills, or are capable of learning networking firewalls, here's a link: (all free software)
