Ah, college. The time to explore one’s interests, one’s self-identity, and one’s crazy high-speed internet connection. While you might be tempted to use your college network for nefarious purposes, since you can now BitTorrent anything you want at much faster rates than what you might have had at your parents’ home, think about whether it’s worth it. Nothing is going to ruin your day more than getting busted for BitTorrent, your dealings on the Dark Web, or whatever other crazy thing you’re up to.

Here’s the deal. If you pull up qBittorrent and The Pirate Bay and go to town, odds are good that your college is already deploying traffic shaping on its network so an entire dorm’s worth of people doesn’t slow your campus’ network to a crawl.
You will probably be able to start a torrent, but your download speeds might suffer. If you’re lucky, they’ll be fine, but it’s possible your upload speeds will tank, instead. Depending on where you get your BitTorrents from, an uneven ratio could ruin your chances at obtaining additional content. Strike one.
Strike two is the more obvious one. Letting BitTorrent chug on your college’s network is a great way to summon a fine—or worse, get banned from the network or other unpleasant disciplinary measures. Take a peek at Stanford University’s policy (and its respectable “three strikes” rule, which gives you a few opportunities to stop what you’re doing before you’re hit with the banhammer):
For the first incident, your machine’s credentials will be restored after you demonstrate that you understand the issues by passing a quiz and affirming your future law-abiding intentions.
For a second allegation, your network credentials will be inactivated for four calendar days after you demonstrate that you understand the issues by passing and affirming your future law-abiding intentions.
A third allegation will require a student Judicial Process and generally will remove your network access for at least one academic quarter.
Note: Violators at any level also run the risk of a lawsuit from the copyright holder which can cost thousands of dollars (or more).

“But wait,” you think. “I can just use a VPN, like I was doing at home, to prevent my ‘ISP,’ the university, from knowing what I’m up to!”
Here comes strike three. A VPN is a great way to conceal what you’re up to, sure. The problem? Your university might already have set up mechanisms that prevent you from using VPNs (including services like Tor) on their network. But let’s assume the positive: Your VPN works, you’ve connected up, and you’re ready to start downloading more movies than a film major’s DVD collection.
First, you’ll need to pay attention whether your VPN is actually working. If it disconnects, and you don’t realize it, you’ll be sending all your BitTorrent traffic unmasked, and that will surely attract your college’s attention. (In a perfect world, you’ll want to use a VPN app that has a “kill switch” setting that blocks all your network traffic in the event it loses its connection or can’t connect.)

You’ll still have to deal with your university’s traffic-shaping mechanisms, if any exist. And even if you don’t have any issues there, it won’t be very difficult at all for those in charge of your college’s network to notice that your dorm room—or the laptop you’ve registered to the campus network with the account you college assigned you—is eating up more bandwidth than everyone else.
Over at Stanford, the university alsohas a system for dealing with those who mysteriously eat up a ton of network resources:
“If you received a traffic advisory message, it’s because the network traffic patterns from your computer suggested that it may be generating a high volume of peer-to-peer file sharing traffic. You are not in any trouble (at least not because you received this message). In fact, we presume that you are complying with copyright laws and University policies. The notice is provided only as a service to those people who are unknowingly file sharing. If you know you’re only sharing files with the legitimate permission of the copyright holder, you can ignore the message.”

While your university might not be able to conclusively say that you’re running BitTorrent on a VPN, they’ll definitely notice your bandwidth use, which might prompt a more thorough investigation (and eventual consequences). You also might be able to get away with it, but I wouldn’t say it’s worth the risk. There are other reasonable alternativesyou can try, or you could just, you know, not go crazy with illegal downloads.
Make a few friends and share a Netflix, Spotify, or Apple Music account. Hit up your campus library for media. Go to one of your college’s (likely many) film screenings. Get your dorm to buy more Blu-rays for everyone to watch on its huge shared television. Use your sweet student discounts to acquire entertainment for super-cheap prices. Go study. Party. Your options are limitless.
