@Peter,

It may be that your ISP is assigning you an IP address that they’re reserving for you based on the MAC address of the Internet facing interface on your router. If you had a router that supports it, you could possibly change the MAC address on your router in order to force your ISP to issue you a new reserved IP address via DHCP. Make sure you reboot after doing it.

There is an easier way. All you need to do is change your gateways/router/switch IP address. Request a new one from your DHCP server. You could even just spoof your media access control address if you want.

I rebooted my combination modem/router. I then ran the ip release/renew, etc. instructions on your web site after deleting my browsing history/cache/cookies. And after that, I ended up with the same IP address and the same result with hotfile. What next?

Hey Tanner, I Just tried it. It works but I didn’t follow all your steps, I Just turned off my DSL modem and turned it back on, that was all. I’ve tried it many times, and it works fine for me. Enjoy!

@ Peter – It’s a 3-step process, and even if each step took 5 minutes (which they don’t), you’re still saving yourself 15 minutes of wait time for each download.

So, even in that example, you’ve gained an hour of download time for every four downloads, regardless of file size.

With practice and repetition, you should be able to complete all the steps in just over 5 minutes, now saving you nearly 25 minutes per download.

The knowledge Tanner is teaching is free, the time saved is priceless, but if you would rather spend your money, then that is your choice.

Some people may not have the budget for Premium accounts, and are downloading files that can help them.

So calling freely shared knowledge stupid? Sorry, that is just not right…

@ Tanner – Thanks for this. You are helping many people. Keep up the goodness.

Going through all these steps, you could rather wait. It is still stupid. The bests way is to get a premium account. It isn’t expensive.

@Wok

You can always ask to see if they can move you to a dynamic IP. If that is not an option, you would have to use a Tunneling or VPN tunneling service from a third party service provider.

@Walker,

I could have, but then people wouldn’t have learned the tech or principles behind it. You can feed a man a fish, and feed him for a day, or you can teach a man to fish, and feed him for life.
