10mb isn't the best package for streaming AND gaming at the same time, as the streaming alone can kick in the VM traffic shaping quite quickly (which will then impact your gaming).

If you can't upgrade your package then I suggest proxying content within your LAN (an old desktop PC running linux & squid proxy server should be fine) - though you need to be fairly au fait with linux to configure this.

Apart from WinProxy (which is a paid for app) and MS ISA Server (which is paid for and expensive), I don't know of any freee proxy servers for windows.
