Either it wasn't successful, or it's not the package you thought. There
are lots of things you might have downloaded, but since you give no
details...

Sure, and as long as you don't mind it being 1000 miles off, you too can
claim to do it too. When I go to that site, the little pin is in
Kansas, which is 1100 miles from where I live on the east coast of the US.

Or by reading the mind of the programmer.
I suggest you read that geoiptool site, in particular the page
http://www.geoiptool.com/en/ip_info/
There is some misinformation, but notice carefully the part about
dynamic IP addresses. Probably 99% of the individual users on the web
(the ones using a browser) have dynamic IP addresses. The fixed ones
are needed by servers, and especially for DNS use, where the name lookup
wants to be stable for relatively log periods of time.
