Just as a general heads up to everybody... I'm starting to look
alot closer at high-bandwidth usage and am contacting residents about it.
There are a very few users (~50/6000) that make the network unusable for
the rest of us. I'm contacting the residents causing the problem and letting
them know that they need to limit users in ftp, connections on http, etc.

To get an idea of the of the busy subnets, check out

now in beta! :)

Let me know what y'all think. I'm all for the personal approach,
because technical fixes all have workarounds and are a pain to keep up with.

Is it just me, or is there a marked difference between guy and girl dorms?

Granted, I'm not up to date on which are which anymore, but if memory
serves...
