Sorry, but IPs cannot easily be spoofed for a download connection. They may break into someone's PC and set up a relay, but that is not spoofing. See, you provide an IP, and the machine sending the download sends the packets to that IP by route. You cannot easily get in the middle and steal the packets.

Outgoing is much easier, because you aren't looking for a reply or a return. But in order to download something, you have to provide a usable and real IP address as destination for the returning packets, or they go nowhere.
