Magento Connect

[nathan_bursnell]

We have recently installed the latest security patches and also restricted access to the downloader folder via IP, but now we cannot access Magento Connect Manager to update the extensions that have stopped working after the new patches, any ideas of what i can do here? do i need to allow another IP to access the downloader folder?
