Re: Trouble downloading pages

However, the pages are blocked even if I enter their urls into a
separate Delphi test program using the Synapse Library, so I am wondering
if there might be something about the library which is off, or if I could
somehow tweak the library to disguise my queries (I've already tried
changing the user-agent string, but that doesn't seem to work). Does
anyone have any suggestions?

Get a packet sniffer like Ethereal. Compare your requests against the ones that a normal browser sends. Perhaps you are missing a cookie, not following a redirection, or there is some javascript required for some pages to load.
