Call up your TV and phone companies and see if you can get Cable or DSL in your dorms - you can't fool the network admins for long. They have a very wide array of tools at their disposal, and years of experience from students who have also tried to trick them out of bandwidth.

And just as an afterthought, in a WEEK you can only download 758MB? Jesus - this week alone I downloaded America's Army (650MB), SuSE Linux 9.0 (7.22GB), and constantly listen to internet radio (and that's gotta add up to a lot, when I've got the stream running 24x7)
Yeah, Im the same way. All of the stuff I have downloaded in the past week has been legal, but in total it has added up to more than 15GB of stuff. I would be so screwed if they capped it at less than a gig.

Any ideas on why they do it? What school is this? Thats pretty ridiculous...
