Yeah, this is just a student-run association running it, providing connection from university's upstream ISP which apparently is easy to upset.
I posted this because I actually find this nice, as it doesn't fully block torrents, but just specific ones, and they also make that clear. They could just block torrents and stay safe.

Func fact: Some dorm rooms apparently actually have 2.5Gbit. I've seen the speed test. Of course, you'll need a compatible network card. Most have "only" a gigabit.
