First off, it's NOT German porn. Or Brazilian.

I'm trying to watch some videos on Top Gear's UK site, but I keep getting a message that the video I want to watch cannot be viewed from my country or location.

Any way around this? I watched a bunch of videos on there before, but they posted some new ones and now this BS started.

Check out the latest parts and accessories from Truck Hownd

You should be able to use a UK-based proxy server.

C'mon, Tom... I know you work with a lot of Microsoft stuff so I don't expect your technical chops to be razor-sharp, but I still expected you to understand that.

Here is a list of UK-based proxies:

Google for "proxy server setup [browser]", based on whatever browser you are using for more detailed instructions.

I knew I came to the right place. Thanks Dev.

Really slows it down, though, is that normal?

Depending on the popularity of the proxy the tradeoff can be a slowdown in transfer. Sometimes you have to try a coupe before you find a good one that is not saturated.
