Right. Here's what you do- this'll only work on a laptop btw, if youve a pc I can give you instructions for that;

Gat a small wee screwdriver. Turn over the laptop. Unscrew the FIRST FIVE screws you see. Take off the thing. Under that is a wee flappy bit. Take it out carefully.
Under that, you should see a tiny tiny wire.
Very slowly, disconnect that. It's the 'security download blocker 3000' btw.
Put it all back together again, then when you turn on the computer again, you'll need to start the downloads again, but they'll be super fast

It's due to the governments crack down on illegal downloading, After your 3rd offence Sean Sherlock calls around to your house with a bat and beats you with it

DMCA having being issuing a lot of takedowns, especially on certain shows. It wouldn't be a certain green DC super hero by any chance?

Email me your machine and I'll have a look at it.

Send a screwdriver as an attachment too since the ones I have here are made of paper and onions.
