Problem description: My work computer has no download limit, but my home computer has 10 GB limit after which the connection goes down to 5 kb/sec.

Goal: Use the work computer as a server; create a tunnel from home-> work in order to utilize the network speed.

Question: Is this possible with Windows computers? Could you recommend a list of tools to use?

I don't know. But doesn't the download limit apply to the tunnel you will be using? Because you will need your home internet access to connect to your work computer.

Have you thought about VPN access? Here [^] is one way to do it.

How about FTP? But that is going to utilize your download limit as well, isn't it?
