My best connectivity sometimes is behind a firewall at school. It's a pretty paranoid firewall, although for pretty understandable reasons. I have trouble accessing many types of content that are useful for teaching (streaming video, for example), and while my students might chat with other students around the world about migrating birds, the kneejerk reactionary firewall obviously blocks that.
As a good citizen of the school citizen and a good netizen, I wonder where to stand on bittorrent. It seems like goodness to me; but is there any way to even dl a torrent as a dl? Is that something bizaare? How would you handle that? If I mention it to the Powers that Be, such as they are, I will get a stern look and next week my connection will mysteriously disappear. I guess it's dumb to ask, but what do people do and what do people think about this?
