Thanks. Sorry, I think you might have got too tecnical for me. I have many friends in the UK who run PC's 24/7 some even as servers. Is there anything I can put on one of those to run me a proxy? Will I not eat their bandwidth if I start streaming video for example, or does the entire traffic not flow via that system? Sorry, as you can see I have little idea about this and how to set somehing like this up.

I used to use foxyproxy in order to be able to watch BBC iplayer over here in Spain, but I am not so lucky with it any more. (Incidentally before some over zealous net policeman jumps on my head for infringing on UK TV licensing, I'd just like to point out that I do own and pay for a full UK TV license..)
