The students have drawn aggro. Cast level 5 bypass internet filter spell.

I found that schools that limit bandwidth usually dont have the bandwidth limited on public computers like the ones in the library and the network printers. just a matter of using a mac address from one of those machines. But they can trace where that mac address is plugged into the wall port. So don't use a wall port in your own room. One way to do is hide wireless router that is plugged in somewhere it won't be noticed. example. put router in ceiling and plug ethernet cord in where a bunch of them are plugged in. On that router you could have the mac from a printer or library computer. then you pick up the wireless signal from another location and bingo your not limited. catching you is a cat and mouse game and sorry to say you will be the mouse. I never used p2p it kills networks and i always scheduled my download speed so i didnt use the bandwidth when others really needed it. My college had real time graphs of the total campus bandwidth usage on the IT website so I just looked at the and saw that pretty no traffic between 3am and 8am so I uncapped my download speed for that time frame and could get ~40Mbps(of a 50Mbps connection) during those hours and during the day I limited 500kbps. i think at that time we used newsleecher as the client i believe it had scheduling.
