Also, if you're gonna use it off campus, make sure to not share anything anyone wants. I know this is kind of contradictory to the point of DC++, but household internet upload speeds are crap (meaning your contribution is almost worthless), and it will kill your monthly bandwidth limit.
Also, when torrents are throttled, so is DC++ :(.

Yeah, the general Internet plans have very low uploading bandwidths. Definitively be careful, make sure you know what your uploading limit it otherwise it can be expensive. Some plans have the uploading and downloading bandwidths together though.
