I have DC++ at my university and it's incredible. In a couple days I downloaded probably 30-40 movies and probably 30 TV episodes. There's a really complete library, TV shows download in about a minute and whole movies download in about 2-3 minutes.
What you should do is talk to some techy kids at your uni and ask them what hub to go on. I had mine set up for me so I don't know exactly how it works, but you just need to find a hub on your network.
I used it for a period, if you aren't on a campus it is harder to use, I mean I got the occasional song or movie that I couldn't find elsewhere but like was said above, go to IT and find someone to help you out
