Hotel slowing port 80 traffic, how can I reroute to a different port?

[RaiderJ]

Normally I wouldn't complain about a hotel's free internet service, but 10kB/s is just terrible. I figure they must be slowing traffic on that port since my NewsGroup downloading is clipping along at over 100KB/s.

Is there a way I can webbrowse over a different port? Maybe an online proxy or something?

Don't underestimate the intelligence of a packet shaper, regardless of the port you use.

Very true.

I posted in the networking forum too, but I figured it'd get more exposure here. There's so many forums here now I think many of them just get ignored.

Someone who has been here since 2001 should know better...
