At our school here, we have a firewall in place along with a device that throttles the bandwidth to certain applications like the file sharing programs. The reason we do that is so our cost to use that amount of bandwidth isn't so great. I think we have only a 10k pipe available for filesharing programs. That gets divided between all the people trying to use them type of applications. So if 10 people are using programs like that they will all get only 1 k of download speed. We have 0 bytes being used for games. Sucks actually......
