There is no possible way for you to be untraceable. There is a way to use a proxy to sort of hide it. This involves using something like ssh to forward all traffic from a specified port to a different server first, and then from there to the final destination (This, of course, would limit your ability to be contacted first, however downloading from someone else would work just fine). The proxy will take your packet and take out your IP and Mac address Information. The server keeps a hash(unique identifier) on the server end that identifies the packet so that when it comes back from its destination it can be re-encapsulated with your IP and Mac address and forwarded back to you. This is commonly used by people to block their identity because of privacy concerns (Sadly this is also a way for a hacker to hide himself/herself as well).

Also, I seen someone early post that using an encrypted connection makes it harder to trace. That is simply not the case. A packet has to always carry an IP and Mac address (Well one or the other if it is a terminal device trying to get the other missing part). Otherwise, your packet will go no where. With encryption, only the content you are sending will be more difficult to decipher by anyone trying to view it.
