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![]()

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.
