As far as I know (Not far) unless you go to an outside provider you will suffer, only way is to stay connected for a long time,then you will pick up some bandwidth as people go offline,if you just 'Dip' in now and again,you will suffer small amount of BWidth.
sorry this isn't much help,

What type of connection do you have?
What BWidth do the authorities say you should have?
Do they have throttles on p2p at your college/uni ?these are common !
