[OT] - US proxy for Wowio.com?

Hey ho, another OT question for y'all.

Anyone know of a reliable free US proxy I could use to download stuff from wowio.com - they won't let you create an account from outside the US, and their site seems to detect where you're browsing from. I'm thinking that with a proxy I could fool them into thinking I'm USAian and then open an account.

S'OK, I found one: www.stupidcensorship.com seems to do the trick =-)

Hmm, well that got me further into the login than I have before (most anonymous proxies seem to disable the scripts etc needed, or be based outside the US), but what authentication method did you use for getting a login?
I don't have a non-anonymous US based email, US registered credit card, or US ID.
Or have they foiled all of us Brits until they are able to service non-US residents?

Well, my email address is from www.plus.net, but my email address (if you bypass my domain) has an @plus.com extension. I guess they see the .com and assume I'm american. Then it's just a amtter of lying through my teeth on their "personal details" section and I'm in! Waiting for my first download now=-)

If you like I could probably set you up with a mailbox under my account for you to use with Wowio. PM me if you're interested.
