[QUOTE="JunMacTech, post: 271410"] Nice info, but completely unrelated to the problem at hand. If you are using a cable modem or dsl modem, the IP of the MODEM is what is checked when verifying when you downloaded. Changing your ip on the mac will do nothing except for possibly make your machine unusable. Your IP to the rest of the world is whatever address your ISP assigns the modem. The reason a proxy works is that it routes all of your traffic through it, masking your actual IP address. The reason that it causes major slowdown is that ALL of your network traffic has to pass through the proxy before reaching your destination. You can spoof your IP but I don't know enough about that subject to explain it. [/QUOTE]
