So by blocking all common communication programs, they pissed off all the computer nerds, and instead of being content to not download, now a ton of people are on KaZaA again. Heh.

One more thing.
School IT dept practice traffic shaping and random packet captures to get a glimpse of traffic flow.
In other words, the can still see that your downloading a program instaed of graphics and text based on the packet captures and they will eventually notice the bell curve in their traffic shaping charts that break bandwidth down by sub-net and IP.
They'll probably ignore it if where talking an extra 50k connection or two in kazzaa for mp3's but they will not ignore a couple of 150k connections or if your eating a gig a week in traffic flow (which is computed bidirectionally, meaning what you send out is also counted in that 15.00 a gig.)
Keep it reasonable.
