> Are sourceforge really pirates? If not, what to do? Sourceforge are not pirates, but many hotel firewalls err on the side of safety and seemingly-capriciously block all kinds of things. (For example, my last stay in LA my hotel wouldn't pass email, even IMAP over a SSH tunnel.)
Consider a VPN. There are some free ones around (like hotspotshield) which are either time-limited or ad-supported (HSS is the latter). You can download one (if your Y lets you), install it, surf anywhere you like through the VPN, then uninstall it when you're done. (HSS is a little reluctant to uninstall cleanly, but it can be done!) I subscribe to a paid VPN (Bolehvpn) that has inexpensive trial passes, if you are skeptical about security or privacy with the free ones. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
