I am currently on an university network with a packet shaper that severly limits my ability to download or use certain programs. I am just wondering is there a way (or program) to connect to a friends computer (off the network who is unrestricted) then use their internet connection to run my programs? or is this wishful thinking?
 
How is your friend's PC connected to the Internet? If he has a wireless router, you can either get connected by an ethernet cable or if you have a wireless adapter for your computer, then you can "borrow" his connection anywhere in the house without using a cable.
 
I am connected via a wireless connection and so connecting using a LAN cable is easy. Obviously using a broadband connection you will need a router on the host side and a receiver on the receiving end.
