Can I use gnutella from Steven's Court?

['irrelevant' M. Rogers]

  There's an official thing about dorm rate limiting at:

http://www.washington.edu/computing/rules/residencehall.html

They specifically mention:

 "Limiting total network bandwidth from the Residence Halls to off campus
 destinations to 100 megabits per second.

 Further limiting inbound traffic on specific peer-to-peer applications
 to 20 megabits per second and outbound traffic to 1 megabit per second."

(They don't say anything about blocking gnutella traffic, but I imagine if
there's sufficiently many people fighting over the bandwidth you may not
be able to get a connection anyhow.)
