I have no problem with people downloading/uploading whatever they want to. I have a problem when people call me and tell me that "my" network sucks because they can't check their email. The network doesn't suck ... it's just being killed by bandwidth hogs.
Each dorm is in it's own subnet. The students can flood the network in their own dorms all day and night and it won't affect me. But it does affect their neighbors and those are the people I have to deal with.
Packet shaping is a great answer to all of these problems -- until someone finds a way around it.
