At school, we have 80% of all the internet blocked.
Downloading from sites other than Nintenlord X, Google, Ubuntu and Microsoft has been blocked as well.
However through, if you are using any Linux distribution, you can bypass the blocks.
The downloads would take longer, or will sometimes quit downloading, but it works.
The things you need to have:

Nintenlord Proxy, look at the right top menu of this site.
Any Linux distro.
Terminal/Konsole/X-Term.

First off, go to Nintenlord Proxy, or download your own one and place it on your site/mirror.
Inside it, go to Source Forge and click a random file.
On the page where it says something like “…is going to download in a few seconds…click here to download directly” (don’t blame me if I’m wrong, I don’t have internet when writing this article).
Click the Stop button in your browser before the download starts, so you have some more time, because as soon as it proceed, your download has failed.
Why? Because it’s blocked.
Now, when you see “Download directly”, right click on it and click “Copy URL Link”, “Kopieër URL Link”, “リンクのURLをコピー (Copy Link of URL)”, etc.

Now fire up your Terminal.
Typ in “wget (copypasta)”.
Note that where it says “(copypasta)”, I mean to say, you have to paste your URL you’ve copied in your browser.
If you have not cd’d anywhere, your download will be in your /home directory.
But note that the file’s filename begins with “index.php?*”, if you do it this way.

Well, you’re done.
Proberly my best tutorial to date. :-)
