    Hi,

    I register successfully on amazon.com in order to buy a movie on their unbox (downloadable media content) service, I also bought what I wanted without any troubles, the trouble is their media player doesn't let me download the file as I'm not on US soil:banghead:

    It's probably only IP based, so what I would need is either someone living there to act as a anonymous proxy for me, or someone who would wish to download the file himself and send it by ftp to me or burning it on a dvdr and ship it...the file being over than 1.5GB.

    The movie is http://www.adogsbreakfastmovie.com/index.php

    Worst case scenario:I lost 15$ and will have to wait till the DVD release in september:crying:

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, and you will have a free and hopefully funny movie to watch!
    Sorry if I sound like a stupid advertizer-spam-bot, it's not the purpose...

    uj

    wish i could help, and if you do get it working let me know, been dying to see that film for months!! think david hewlett is a fantastic actor,and so funny!

    only way i can think is try using some ip spoofing software, or failing that get one of the U.S folks in here to download it for you and put onto disc

    So I guess you don't live in the US...

    The only thing I got:

    I tried Itunes too, but they're a bit smarter, I can't register on Itunes US because of my bank account is in France, same thing if I use paypal as a payment method, I get redirected to Itunes France, and the file is obviously unavailable on that one...

    I might be able to help you. I dont want to get into legal crap though with amazon. If you have a account and give me your user name and password and a link to where I login I will login in for you and download it to my PC. I live in ohio so they shouldnt say anything. Once download I can try to send it to you if you want or I can burn it to a DVD if you like. However if you want it shipped you will have to cover the shipping charges. Let me know.

    You can do iTunes, if you have the know-how. Get a gift certificate for the US store off ebay, and with that you can register for a US account.

    You could try and search around in google for anonymous US based proxy servers, this would make it look like your IP is US based.
    If you need any help finding one PM me ill have a search too.

    Most of them are only for web browsing, and I'd rather not let my login and password go through any unknown computer with a suspect reliability...
    but if you know any goood one, PM me.
