Just downloaded myself a Linux distro the other day. (700MB)

The uni won't be using that kind of home plans like me and you. They'd be on some extremely fast (T4, T5?) unlimited connection, so they don't really give a poo poo how much you use, it won't cost them any more. BUT although they say they give you 1GB a day, if you use even close to that much (on a regular basis), I bet they'd check up on you and screw you over.

I'm kinda too scared to sPa/\/\ that internet. Don't want to loose it. Maybe I'll start renaming all my files before I download. Half Life 2.iso => Barack Obama Speech.avi?

And the 1GB is non stacking. So if you don't use any today, you don't get 2GB tomorrow.

SSH tunneling + Firefox Portable is the best way to cover your tracks (I don't think Unis bother with all the monitoring software that high schools have).
Through traffic monitoring, all they can tell is a lot of traffic, but they won't know anything about the nature of it, including what server the file is from.
