Long those lines, I have gotten serveral:
"What's a traffic shaper" recently.
Never really know how to answer...

Tell them its an evil monster that ITS have been breeding. They feed it students that use BT!!

10 mins after assuring us he had the correct IP in, and we had spent some time talking him throguh setting up his firewall, we got:

[astropoint]

[echelon]

And another good one:

[15:47:58] <Joel> is dc++ working?

hmmm let me think.... u're on dc++ and u ask whether dc++ is working??
[sarcasm] Now that's the kinda of intelligence that we expect from a student at a top UK university [/sarcasm]

[BigG]

Yes, I must admit I do find it incredulous that people cannot grasp the rediculously simple concept that if they can't download it is almost guaranteed to be THEIR FAULT! :S

[astropoint]

How...just how?

[20:51:25] <astropoint> in active, you need your IP in the IP box before you can download/search
[20:51:53] <lama7> ok
[20:51:56] <lama7> what if i find some other ip
[20:51:59] <lama7> will it work
[20:54:05] <astropoint> <Tux> u're a noob!! and I will personally kick u if u dont shut up!! astro is too nice!! but wrath is far greater!! now get ur ip from http://checkip.dyndns.org/ and stick that in as ur ip!! and u wont be able to download from firstchoice unless u go off-campus!! have a nice day!! may the penguins have mercy on u!!

[echelon]
