Having lived on a university campus until two years ago, no major university will do this.

I don't know where the OP is from, but certainly in the UK, most major universities banned torrent use upwards of five years ago - even if for legal downloads such as Linux. They won't change now!

I'm struggling to get the patch anyway and I no longer live on a campus! I have a port forwarding system, but it's taken 3 hours to get 40% of it. Surely SE doesn't want people to seek out illegal means just to play their game? Is it unreasonable to expect an alternative?
