Is there a chance you could update the link to the University of Manchester new web site? Indeed, following the merger of the University of Manchester with UMIST, the new website since Octobre 1st is http://www.manchester.ac.uk/, replacing the old http://www.man.ac.uk/, as indicated on top of the site.
I know it is not in your policy to edit posts once they have been submitted, but for future references, could the Related Link to the University be updated?
Thanks a lot,

Interestingly enough, the policy applied in the dorms of my University in Europe (Univ. of Manchester, UK) has evolved dramatically in the last few years. Two years ago, students used to be charged for any traffic above 250 MB/month. Last year, the first 1Gb/month was free, then student were automatically disconnected. This year, they abolished the upper limit of 1Gb/month, but instead firewalled most of the ports commonly used by usual P2P softwares; moreover, they disconnect users permanently each time they receive a complaint from Sony, Universal, etc.
Finally, the policy will probably change again due to the recent enforcement in the UK of the EUCD, as discussed earlier.
Is it just me or does it seem like many corporations are now ignoring the will of the people?
I think that a few of the more *noteworthy* corp. out there are letting bulls run loose in their china shops by relentlessly pursuing issues that the public deems to be...tiresome. Especially SCO. And the RIAA could better spend its energy trying to catch up to the digital wave then pursuing petty lawsuits against students.
