    depends on where you are, and their policy

    http://ftp.heanet.ie "Current bandwidth utilisation 125.60 Mbit/s (out of 1Gb)"
    suggest you leach from ftp.heanet.ie

    Not at all.

    Most big colleges have a direct link into Heanet so the bandwidth is already paid for (per month, not per meg). That's what Heanets there for.

    Yeah, laptop + wireless card is about the best way to go. There are few CD burners in UCD, so there's no real way of transporting the data around campus.
