These are personal media files. The institution does not care about them. It is just that if there is too much torrent traffic from my computer, network managers may think that I am hosting content. This is a university and our students do such things often, I imagine. This comment was specifically related to the torrent solution. Anyways, I can get to my files through VPN and a network share. The problem is, it is too much data to transfer through the network.
Speculative comments about why I want to do this are, of course, welcome. However, I asked a technical question and it will be great if I get a technical answer. For example, Sodium Sync offers such a possibility, but it is a commercial product that is aimed at servers. Thanks!
