I use Ubuntu part of the time, and Mac OS X part of the time. I also have Windows installed, but I probably go into it once every two months nowadays. I should probably get rid of it to make way for U2 bootlegs.

Before I go any further, please note I'm fairly techno. illiterate lol;

Having just about had it with Rapidshare for the moment, I figured I'd just ask some questions techno- and Rapidshare related stuff if anyone can help. I've been getting the "too many wrong codes" and download sessions etc. on RS, and just now it said that my IP address was busy downloading a session, yet I went on http://www.myipaddress.com/what-is-my-ip-address/ and it said my IP address is completely different to the one that came up on RS just now. Clearly there's something wrong, but I'm wondering if there's an error with the way my IP address is actually being processed or something. What can affect it? e.g. would having both a wireless and a wired connection running through a broadband hub make any difference?

Apologies in advance for rambling nature of post lol...

EDIT - I tried a couple of things download wise, the John Legend Pride cover audio and that came up with a code to enter, so I figured I'd try it with a bootleg I wanted (the 1989 Point Depot gig) and it did the same, so I entered the code and then it came up with a thing saying that an error had occurred with 3 different possible explanations, none of which I think I come under lol (unless I'm subject to a proxy server without knowing it). I now just tried the New York 2004 (Fulton Ferry Park) show, and it says I've reached the download limit and to wait 53 minutes despite not actually having downloaded anything lol
