  your email address means squat here.. if all has to do with your
  IP address that you are using when you request to download the
  files.

  i have successfully downloaded the 3.5 and VII rom images from
  a number of machines..

    1. USA:
       - while visiting the USA, logged on and downloaded.

    2. Sweden:
       - machine at work (with a .com extension), was told
         the machine "appears to come from USA" - downloaded

    3. Sweden
       - machine at home (with a .se extension), was told 
         the machine "appears to come from Sweden" - downloaded

  if you have signed the NDA agreements and have access to the
  provider pavillion - then you should be able to download the
  files as long as a reverse DNS check reveals that you are in
  a country that will allow the export of these files.

  thats my experience.

  cheers.
