Hey, ages ago, as an intern, I have been flagged for BitTorrent downloads. As it turned out, I was downloading/sharing Ubuntu isos, so things didn't escalate too far, but it was a scary moment.

So, I'm not using BT at work anymore.

I left a Linux ISO (possibly Ubuntu) seeding on a lab computer at university, and forgot about it after I'd burned the DVD. You can see this was a while ago.

A month later an IT admin came to ask what I might be doing with port 6881. Once I remembered, we went to the tracker's website and saw "imperial.ac.uk" had the top position for seeding, by far.

The admin said to leave running.
