P2P Downloading Across Firewalls

Ok,
Now beforee I keep going, please realize that I am only using this for LEGAL downloading purposes. My school's firewall blocks P2P software so I am unable to download music. Frankly, when I'm dishing out god knows how much money in student loans, I would like to be able to use the network I help pay for with a ridiculously high tuition. What I Did:

I setup logmein's it reach on my remote machine at my house (broadband connection, always on), from there I was able to download my music via remote control, and transfer for them onto my machine using their file transfer utilities. This also was pretty helpful when I needed to back up papers and stuff.. I could just transfer them over to my home. I was a little irritated as that there was no linux support though... ARGH

Questions/Comments Suggestions
??

My System

While you state that it's for legal use, we really don't support P2P here. In addition, we won't help bypass the school's restrictions on P2P applications.
