Yes, but I have a nice collection of SIM cards from various countries... Every time I travel (twice a month at least) I bring back some SIM cards for this kind of "work"...

Well, I am using Privoxy since the beginning of Tor, never understood why i would have to change.

Anyway I followed your suggestion and cleaned the cache, then I could enter Googlegroups with Tor! 

Thanks a lot for your help :)
