I understand that.. but when I renew and release when running XP.. it's not a problem.. I can get a new IP.. almost everytime... and it does sometime reassign the same IP... but that's only maybe 1 in every 10.. but I simply release and renew again (in XP that is).. and it will reassign another IP...

And in Vista.. I can get a new IP.. by releasing the IP.. and physically unplugging and plugging in again... and will always get a new IP... again in about 1 out of 10.. it may reassign the same... the only thing I'm trying to get is.. a software solution to do the same thing in Vista

I download files from sites like rapidshare.com or megaupload.com... but these files usually come in split form.... so sometimes it may require a few downloads to get one file... but after each download it requires you to wait 2 hours before you can download part 2... but a cheeky way around it is to change your IP.. that way you get the next part of the file without waiting....
