How exactly does that site "unblock" them?

Just input the link into the box, or use the bookmark bar.
So we have several datacentres around the world, and when users input a link. A server will take the task and try to download the content on the web, based on trial & error and user's response it learns how to download from a particular website.
So.. a proxy?
