This is the worst...

The following is an excerpt of an email I received from the IT department in my college. They really have nothing to do there :

You have been transferring large amounts of traffic. . Excessively large volumes of traffic may result in your disconnection from the network if not justified. Large network transfers put a strain on your network link. This occurs when students saturate the link e.g. by offering to the world their PC as providing some form of service this is usually done by sharing files. Running peer to peer software to share files( I player, Limewire, BitTorrent, Skype etc) throughout the network/internet contravenes CUDN policy (again usually sharing mp3 or video). Should this happen the offending PC will be disconnected from the network. With the appropriate tutor being informed of the action and reason. This may result in a reconnection fee and repeat offenders will be referred to the dean for disciplinary action. This contravenes College and University policy. Please review network policy for the college at: http://www.sid.cam.ac.uk/life/comp/traffic.html

and University policy

this could have resulted in your disconnection from the network.
