Streaming sites banned!

Many school and computer laboratories banned Streaming sites such as youtube, veoh, and dailymotion because of the decreasing bandwidth of internet connection. Here are some tips to access banned sites:
1. the use of proxy servers-
Proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) which services the
requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers (Wikipedia)
2. TOR - A free software implementation of second-generation onion routing, a system enabling
its users to communicate anonymously on the Internet (www.torproject.org)
3. UltraSurf - flagship software product from UltraReach Internet Corp. for Internet
anti-censorship. It enables users inside countries with heavy Internet censorship to visit any
public web sites in the world safely and freely.

Drawback of these is that it won't guarantee the user a nice time viewing their favorite videos, thus there's a site that will help the user enjoy the videos from Youtube, zamzar.com. This site is use to convert files without installing any software for free, and the user can download files from youtube and automatically convert it to different video formats.
