Question about data available to network management (aussie.zone)

Hello this isn't strictly 'selfhosted' material but there seems to be a lot of networking knowledge in this group.

I'm thinking of leveraging my universities network to assist in downloading "Linux ISO's" via torrent. I thought a cool little project would be and old rasberry pi with a battery pack, wifi radio and an external hdd in a box would be cool.

Considering I have to use a university supplied email and password, unique to me, to connect to the wifi (only once then it connects like normal). How obvious will it be that I am downloading "Linux ISO's"? I'd definitely be running a VPN as a base level of privacy.

Also if there is a better community for this please point me in the right direction. Reddit's adds were annoying but it was definitely easier to stumble onto relevant subreddits.

IRC as in Internet relay chat? I haven't used it but how would it help me get around my loe data cap? I'm trying Robinhood some data not find obscure downloads. Even if someone provided me with some direct download links I still need to spend the data getting it onto my system.

Well you said torrenting is basically prohibited and the unanimous consensus here is that you'll get caught. There's probably no way to get around the data cap, but IRC will be indistinguishable from regular downloads and you'll be safe there.
