I think there's a university firewall that stops you using it. See Kazaa thread on main board:-

I thought we had stopped having conversations about kazaa (etc) on the sinner?

Download itunes off the apple mac site and that'll connect you to any hall pc with itunes on it, and there's all the music you want/need (hopefully; some have up to 50gigs of tracks on their hard-drives)
