I'm in Baghdad and sometimes when I open a website everything is in German.  I've checked the tool bar and its all in English, but the website is still in German.  It's mostly just napster.com.  I've never used napster before, but my buddy told me it is really cheap so I was checking it out.  Is napster not available in the US??

It may be doing a geolocation lookup on your IP and sees its in germany so it selects that language.

ETA - You may not be in germany but your traffic is tunneled to germany to an internet exit point there.

Still brings me to German website.... Is it because my IP address is in Iraq?

Yeah it's probably just using geolocation, your traffic must be getting routed through Germany.

This.

Find an American proxy to route your traffic through and it will prevent this, though it will cost you some speed.

Still bringing me to a German site.  Some is in English and some is in German...not sure what to do from here.  

Does anybody know any other music download sites like napster that work with iTunes?

All (US funded, i.e. Army) internet is routed via Germany.  Napster is available in the US, just get itunes or borrow the harddrive filled with tunes, movies and porn thats floating around over there.

This. If you're downloading stuff, you're doing it wrong.

Thanks for the info.  Already done the hard drive swamps with my buddies.  A few viruses are floating around though, trying to be careful who I get music from.

I'm starting to get into a lot of new music and new artists that aren't really big names.  That's why I wanted napster.  I'm sick of paying $10 an album on iTunes when I can get 60 songs a month for $5 a month on napster.  I'll be home in 3 weeks though, I think I can wait a little longer
