we're bummed about this. it's probably a fruitless exercise, but does anyone have any insight into how to get unblocked?

You have the advantage of shipping a desktop client, which affords you a variety of interesting methods beyond what purely web based apps and browsers can do.

The desktop client could even serve as a local proxy server for web/forum access.

yeah, email chris or me -- we've done it before.

Depends on why it was blocked.

Generally speaking if it's because of a local competitor (eg youku or renren (vs youtube or facebook)) I would not hold my breath.

If you've got a solution and need a tester, I'd be happy to test. I'm running MacOSX this side of the GFW.

You can count on me too, running OSX on the bad side of the firewall

I just setup a VPN for a guy in china, and dropbox works fine then. Setup servers with different ip addresses?

Actually, it does not work, it's incredibly slow - 2kb/sec
