piperclassique, you're a genius!!

I used to live in Australia, where I originally registered with ADE. I've recently moved to Germany and this is the first time I've tried purchasing an eBook outside of Australia.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I couldn't download my eBook from Kobo, I've been using my Nook with Calibre and ADE for over a year now without incident, and my internet connection is perfectly fine. Yet I was getting the same time out msg again and again. SO frustrating!!!

So after reading piperclassique's post, I tried downloading the book again but this time using an IP shield, and it worked!
I know my reply is many months on, but hopefully it will help some other poor soul who has experienced the same problem.

However what I would like to know now is how I might change my registration details on ADE so this doesn't continue to be a problem (sure I can keep using an IP shield but surely there's a simpler way. People move countries all the time). Any thoughts?
