Hi

I am currently on a network that restricts the amount of traffic ach day to each computer to 90Mb. I would like to solve this by using a proxy to connect to the internet, therefore bypassing the download limit. I am currently using tor, and although that does overcome the problem in its own way, it is by the nature of it rather slow.

Could anyone recommend me a proxy? I am looking for something high speed rather than necessarily focused on anonymity.

Thanks

The restrictions are most likely there for valid reasons and circumvention may be illegitimate.
In any case you should talk to the network admin, helpdesk or owner.

Your traffic goes through their network. How does using a proxy bypass any counting mechanism they got?

Proxies can not enhance D/L speeds except for cached content.

What I meant by "high-speed" was anything quicker than tor, really.

I think the restrictions were imposed to pre those who might waste bandwith and hog the network by filesharing.

Primarily, I would just like to download a linux distro maybe once every 6 months. Unfortunately, one day counts as the full 24 hours: the admin has not though of easiing restrictions at, say, 11pm. As I would be doing it overnight, I really can't see that many people using the network for *essential* internet research at 3 in the morning!

...Nevermind. I suppose finding a proxy must be one of those things that must-never-be-mentioned, e.g. libdvdcss. I'll try asking a friend of a friend of a friend.

No, they're ridiculously easy to find, for instance by searching proxy sites or scanning classes. Ever thought of throttling traffic? Like wget --limit-rate=n?
