I think my university has finally found out about irc, though I'm not sure. I had to cycle through a bunch of possible servers to gain access to rizon, and the number of working servers grows shorter by the day. Is this really the Uni blocking me, or are there other reasons why my connections keep getting refused? Also, are there other ways to download anime besides piracy and irc?

You could always do a trecert and see where the trace stops. If it stops while trying to leave campus then it is the uni. If it stops while reaching rizon then you are being blocked by them for some reason or another.
>Also, are there other ways to download anime besides piracy and irc?
Not really. You could try a VPN. Another option is to maybe DDLs since Horriblesubs has them for recent releases (Don't expect great speeds though), just they get taken down from time to time if you don't get to them quickly. Animetake also had DDLs but that site died and I don't know if any replacement came out of it.

Typoed. Meant tracert.

Thanks anon, seems to me that my uni actually has found out about rizon. Most of the servers are blocked and of the ones that aren't the connection usually times out. Seems like I'll have to rely on HS providing DDLs.

Try connecting with SSL. Is a chance it may slip by depending on how they are doing the blocking.
https://www.rizon.net/info/access
Need to be on ports 6697 or 9999 for SSL connections and you probably need to make sure your client is also set up to actually connect with SSL.

Probably should add it normally needs a + infront of the port number to indicate SSL.
So would be
/server irc.rizon.net +6697
If you was to do it manually.
