Anybody else running across this issue?

The issue in a nutshell:

I work for a hosting company, with a TON of other gaming enthusiasts. We talk about GOG sales like other workplaces talk about sports. The issue we're seeing as of late is any time we try to download from work (where we have the fastest speeds), everybody gets the same 403 error, but we can download from our homes just fine.

Now, we have our own CDN, so I know this basically means that they are saying "hey, we've seen you download the same content too many times, so we're just stopping you from downloading again"

The issue is that my home internet is so horrible, it's impossible for me to download these awesome games via my internet there.

I've raised a ticket with GOG support, but they just gave me the general "check your internet connection" troubleshooting steps that don't help in the slightest. Even after giving them our office IP, they asked "is your IP static or dynamic", which I had already answered at-length.

So, any ideas how to get around this issue?

I guess I could fire up a windows server at the office (with its own static IP), download the games, then copy them over, but that would incur bandwidth fees for me.
