OK, good. *phew* Do ask a friend!

I've joined split rar files on my Mac. As for the downloading, I think it could be fairly simple. If your family is used to computer slowdowns, then can you get up after they've gone to sleep, start downloading one of your files, go back to sleep, wake up before they get up and hide the downloaded file?

Split rars can be done with Rucksack (rucksackapp.com).

RAR files are ugly. Created by someone who then turned around and sold a not-free piece of software to use those files.

Can someone tell me how such a file format became a de-facto standard? Ugh.

To reach where the computer is from my room, I have to go through the parents rooms. (Ofc I could try climbing out the window :P)

Then it would seem that you need to purchase your own computer!
Hang a satellite dish out your room window, so you don't take on your parent's bandwidth.

I still am curious about 6 or 7 GB download that your parents don't seem to want you to have access to. That sounds a little less innocent than you let on.

Wow. This is really not simple.

This is getting complicated, isn't it? Okay. How about finding a friend who has a computer you can use, then arranging to spend a couple of nights at his/her place. Set up your home computer's power settings to automatically turn on in the middle of the night if needed. Then access your home computer from your friend's house?

Dude, you should get me a job in Tokyo. That would be awesome and I want that connection speed. I read that they wire whole high rises with fiber and then run them to every apartment....awesome!

My suggestion would be to use a router's firmware to handle bandwidth allocations. You could use a consumer router with flashed third party firmware and set a quality of service for a certain connection type and limit the bandwidth. It has kind of a higher learning curve.

If you use torrents you can always throttle torrent speed with in the torrent client.
