Quoting James Purser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
No, the BBC actively blocks non UK ip addresses for a lot of stuff.

probably cos they (we) don't pay the uk telly tax.....
which is what keeps the bbc going....
With everybody having broadband these days.. and the ease of setting
up a vpn link to the UK (or any other country for that matter)... this
doesn't really sound like a technical problem.
All you need is a friend in the uk who doesn't mind you setting up a
squid server on their linux box. Then vpn to their box and point your
browser to their squid server which will drag down the programs.
Since i know how many british expats there are out there, and how
important it is to be connected... this advice is to help them...
joys of linux - i would say....
