I have seen some sites suggest how - some suggest a proxy server - any ideas?

    the way they track you is by your ip and and cookies so provided your are not on a fixed ip and clean out your cookies and this is not illegal.

    Depends how much you're planning to download, but I found that the price for a month's membership (7 EUR) was very reasonable - and it meant I was able to download about 15 gigs of music from a music blog that I'd found.

    I am with BT - what sort of IP address do I have?

    I am not using a router, should I just close the connection, wait a bit and then log back on to get a new IP?
