Any solution/workaround to HF's banned ip's policy?

Not correct.

I just tested a US based RDP and the IP was banned.

Tested it with and without hidemyass. With it worked .. without not. But download was limited to about 3-4MBs because it goes through hidemyass.

find a US remote desktop or VPS. there are some members of this forum offering US servers. You can be sure that the IP is not blacklisted.
you will also get great upload speeds like 4-6MB/s per file.
