    I'm not sure this is our problem. My research suggests that comcast are forcing transparent proxies on their customers, basically meaning that several or many of their customers all appear to have the same IP address when viewed from the internet outside of comcast. This makes it impossible for us to distinguish between you and another comcast customer using the same proxy, so if they are downloading you cannot, and vice versa, because as far as our system can tell you are the same person.

    He said that your Internet provider gives the same IP you're using to someone else. So if that other person is downloading a rom then our system won't let you download it, since that IP is already downloading something. Blame your provider.

    not impossible at all, in fact its even more likely that mobile internet users will be NATed.

    if the problem is caused by NAT, you can't, short of changing ISP. You'll just have to keep trying and hope you manage to get lucky.

    Well,
    using Firefox I just clear history and cookies and login again
    This works for me!

    History and cookies have nothing to do with it, closing firefox might stop any lingering connections to RomUlation, though, which would help the issue.
