They'd have to implement some sort of deep packet inspection to know
this. Do they force https through a proxy? If not, what ever is doing this
should be able to see the http headers telling what the size is. That might
let you download stuff until the 50MB limit.

Another approach would be to use range headers in wget to retrieve blocks
of the ISO in chunks smaller the 50MB.
