I don't believe Uconn endorses the software, but from my understanding it does not take up any bandwith because it allows no outside users at all.
Go check UConn's AUP. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the software they are having issue with. Most Universities and Colleges won't allow P2P software not because of bandwidth issues but because of copyright issues. Try uninstalling that and asking them again. Also, you should do the netstat command just in case something else is running.
