Anyway, thanks That1Guy for help. I'm moving onto another thread.

Just for the record I wasn't implying your question was stupid. I was implying that your nickname looked like a random password.

Anyway you should look into others having same thoughts on campus and maybe sharing between each other using flashdrives, external harddrives or even WLAN connections, thus keeping everyones filesharing bandwidth at a minimum. Best way to keep under the radar. Also use encryption even when FTP'ing.

Oh, sorry I misinterpreted you. I'll probably try your suggestions. I'll see if I can use encrypt FTP from a remote desktop.

Download from file hosts. Megaupload, rapidshare and mediafire all have no wait times and you could probably dl them from your university connection. and they are pretty fast too.

warez-bb.org + jdownloader.org for starters

Yes, that's also a good idea assuming file hosters aren't blocked. They shouldn't clog the line as much as torrents, also. I'm surprised I didn't mention them as an alternative, as I usually do when someone asks this sort of thing. New uploads will mostly use Fileserve or Filesonic instead of those three, though :P

A student said the campus firewall blocks these too. I'll try these using the remote desktop. I'm also planning to use Freenet's Thaw, I2P's I2Psnark, and Tor. However, I couldn't access their network if my virtual machine was running (I visited the campus for a bit), and, so far, Tor only works on my virtual machine.

My ideal solution would allow me to access files from any filesharing site, which the remote desktop connection would seem to allow.

I don't know the specifics of your plans, but it may be a better idea to leave Tor alone. It is meant for surfing and chat, not downloads.

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't use Tor for downloads. I still need to use Tor for other things.
