do they monitor your browsings?

would they mind say, going to a certain website and downloading tv shows such as lost, prison break etc...

are they going to get you screwed for downloading the odd mp3?

ta

yes, yes, and yes

Most likely.

Its a place of education, so they probably have internet monitor services installed.

You would probably get suspended from the network or something for downloading tv shows etc.

Check the AUP.   

Depends what Uni, research what they will do to find out the consequences .

i can't see any uni in the UK (or most countries) not monitoring users browsing.

as for the consequences, all uni's won't be happy, as your accessing illegal videos/mp3 on there IP address.
granted some may just give you a slap on the wrist and tell you not to do it again. but others will disable your account and tell you to provide your own hardware, if you're going to abuse theirs.

the ones im looking at you take ur own hardware anyway... its just like, paying them for access to the internet, gr.. hm

what if said files are downloaded from say rapidshare

www.rapidshare.com/lost.series4.part1.rar sort of thing... not p2p lol

ah i dont wanna go uni now if i cant browse what i want

so u actually mean do uni halls monitor internet traffic?
this will depend on how you get to the net, if its a direct connection then no, but if you have to go through there proxy (which is likely to be the case). then yes, more then likely, they'll be monitoring. plus most education places will have sites like rapidshare blocked in the first place
