Bah, IT people got mad at me and took bittorrent off my machine at work.

[notfred]

They say, "it's a peer-2-peer application, and those are known to spread viruses", as they had me delete bittorrent of my MACINTOSH.

bah.

 

[waggy]

well i have to say you shouldnt have it on a machine at work.

 

[CraigRT]

I wouldn't be allowed to have Bit Torrent either... but I do have it

At least they didn't write you up for misallocation of company resources.

 

[Darien]

[amcdonald]

I don't allow it on my network either.... unless its me.

bah.

Tell them Bit Torrent has a hash system so there is no risk of downloading viruses. Do not tell them Bit Torrent uses up bandwidth like there's no tomorrow.

I'd never let a user use any file sharing program at work, but as for me its a totally different story. Yes there are few times its good to be on the IT side.

 

[conjur]

waaaah

Too bad you're not an admin. It's the ultimate in techno-hypocrasy. Get a user fired for somthing, go do it yourself.

no shlt! using a Mac!

That should have been a firing offense!

 

[Kadarin]

Using BT at work is probably not the smartest thing in the world to do. (It's right up there with posting on ATOT... )

 

[Ranger X]

Think of it as a blessing because other companies would have written you up or even fired you.

 

[atom]

Everyone in my division uses BT. Gotta make use of that T3.............

 

[vi edit]

I wouldn't allow it. And I don't use it myself.

As others have said, be glad you weren't formally reprimanded.

 

[rh71]

Oh the irony coming from you... don't you always knock people for doing things they're not supposed to ?

I notice you didn't mention that they were wrong about telling you to take it off.

Yeah, but he works for the government, where no one gets fired.

he probably knows that, duh

 

[StageLeft]

I haven't used anything like that a work in a very long time. You're just asking for them to come around one day and ask why you've used up 4 gigs of bandwidth in the last month, where your coworkers used up 80 megs each.
