Download Dropbox Needed

[Renegade]

FYI, I did a search for this topic before posting this, but I think there are terms I am unfamiliar with, so that effort was fruitless regardless.

My problem is with trying to get the music of Holy Soldier. I have all of the CDs, except Last Train. I tried to buy the download from CD Universe, but I get this page that says "We're sorry, downloads are not available in your country." I am willing to pay for the music, and they are unwilling to sell to me. They have no right to complain about 'illegal downloading.'

I don't know if this exists, but what I need is the digital equivalent of a UPS mailbox. I can have a UPS mailbox in Detroit, order a parcel to be shipped to it, and go over the border to pick it up.

I would like to have a digital dropbox account, order a download, such as Last Train, and then log in to my drop box to download the album as a zip file. Does this sound doable?

I've looked all over the internet for this album, and I haven't been able to find it. Even Holy Soldier's ST album is a licensed reprint from Brazil. I'm not too happy with that, but it was all I could find.

For such a dropbox to work, the operators would have to constantly change the IP address or other information to prevent sites, like CD Universe, from identifying them and blocking them. Otherwise they would be denied downloads.

Alternatively, I could ask an American to download the album for me and send it to me, but that wouldn't solve the long term problem. This will happen again.

Try to download using TOR Browser: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

Country restriction should be removed.

Thank you, Dolly Cat. I'm going to build a new PC in a few weeks, and I'll download that browser when I do. I'm used to using Chrome. Do you use TOR all the time? Is it better than Chrome for general use? Does it make proxy anonymizers unnecessary? I had CyberGhost VPN on the old computer, but I'm not sure if it would have worked for the CD Universe download. It would be great to not have Youtube videos blocked because of where I live.

Ok, the easy way:

TOR Browser is a free tool which lets you surf anonymously on web. The traffic is first routed to TOR relays (computers or servers online 24/7) then routed to your computer. It's a free strongly encrypted proxy which lets you access any website you like, including the dark web. It is a copy of Mozilla browser with TOR binary implemented.

TOR Browser is originally built to stay anonymous on web, therefore most add-ons or plug-ins like flash player and some parts of javascript (that might give away user's sensitive information) are disabled. It is recommended to be used only when you want to surf anonymously or when you want to access censored content.

In your case, you want to download from dropbox, but the content is not available in your country. TOR Browser can help you, because it will access dropbox from another area (depends where is the relay located) where the wanted content is not blocked.

Choose Chrome as your default web browser. Use TOR Browser when you have trouble accessing something on Chrome.

tor won't help as it can't guarantee the exit node won't be in a location that isn't geo restricted. I suppose you could keep retrying until you have a circuit with a non-restricted exit, but that would be time consuming.

Using a VPN or proxy with a exit known to be within the geographic region needed for purchase is what is needed.

Moe is right.

You could set up your browser to use a SOCKS5 proxy. Proxies hosted in US: http://us-proxy.org/ (use one which supports HTTPS)

Here's a tutorial on how to set up a SOCKS5 proxy on Chrome: http://sockslist.net/articles/google-chr...how-to-use

Thank you, Moe and Dolly Cat. I won't bother with any of this with my stupid little Atom proc with 1GB of RAM 10" notebook, but I'll do all that after I build our new desktop in a few weeks. If there was a way of getting the album download without installing software, I would have been able to do it with this little laptop. It was worth a try.
