Changing of the IP address

[captaincurran]

Okay, let me set up the peices first. There's this site, that only allows 2 downloads a day. I want more than 2 files from it. I think it's tracking my IP address. Now i'm not directly connected to the net, i'm connected to it through a dorm network, so i was wondering if there was something i can do to my settings somewhere to change the ip so it will think i wasn't there.

Your externally facing (Internet) IP address is not under your control. Besides, they've implemented those rules for a reason - what could that reason be?

[captaincurran]

to enforce pateince? to keep their bandwith usage lower?

[Áedán]

If it's a remotely popular site, bandwidth costs $$. If you're not willing to pay towards the use of their resources, then stay with the 2 files per day limit.

Grab a USB data stick and ask a friend if you can use their pc for a download, job done!

proxy connections are a possibility? but you would need to find a free one that will allow you do to this... but like Aeden says, bandwidth costs money

Webproxy is the way to go if you are desperate, however, don't expect it to be fast.

Try Tor/Privoxy.
