How to Download to a Computer With Restrictions
When a computer has "restrictions," this often means that a system administrator has used their privileges to limit the abilities of other users on the same machine. These limits can include restrictions on which Web pages a user can access or which programs they can install. Often, these restrictions don't limit the downloading of files, however the restrictions make it impossible to access certain sites where files are located. If this is a problem, you can use a proxy site to get around restrictions.
