Guest Banders Kennany Report post Posted October 24, 2003 I feel like a moron today, so I was hoping someone here could help me out again. (two in a row!) Since I got to college (first year), I've had trouble downloading mp3s for some reason. I remember hearing somewhere that some colleges have recently been putting something in/on the networks to prevent them from getting any substantial transfer rate from file sharing networks so as to turn the students off from even trying. Is this likely, and if so, any good file sharing programs or other things I can download or do myself to help me circumvent this? And in another tangentially related question, I have a bunch of burned CDs that play fine in the disk drives of computers and such, but a lot of times they don’t work on other players. I’ve tried to work them on stereos, and on some they go fine, but on others they don’t even start. Like in my car, which still has the standard CD player it came with. Plays the regular storebought legal stuff fine. I put a burned CD in, it takes about ten minutes of squeaking and screeching to start playing, and if you want to skip a track or two ahead, it repeats the process. When you want to rewind or fast forward, it skips all over the place (3:10 to 1:36 to 2:07 in the song, for example - sometimes even jumping into a whole ‘nother song). All that is if I’m lucky though. A lot of the time, it just goes through the squeaking and screeching and never even starts or just decides to spit the disc out outright with an error message. It scratches them all to hell too. Anyone have any idea of what could be up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
