There was a thread here recently discussing this matter. You won't get more than 3 or 4 alternate IP addresses at any given time. Each time you get issued an IP you retain the lease for it until that lease expires (with VM that's a week I think) so the number is limited by VM.

All you need to do to get working again is go back to the last router that worked - the IP associated with it will still be live.

You really didn't need a barrow load of routers either as with many you can simply change the mac address (which is what leads to the different IP) through the gui.

Finally - you won't need to cheat the file hosters this way if you use jdownloader - it works very well completely unattended with free accounts but is obviously a bit slower.
