| Hi I had an email from my internet provider saying, Quote Unfortunately, provider has been contacted by legal representatives of Paramount Pictures regarding the illegal downloading of copyrighted material. They have identified that a provider subscriber has illegally accessed their material on the internet and that they will consider legal proceedings against provider if this activity does not cease. Stop Quote My question is, I always use pure VPN, so they should not be able to tell it was who connected to a torrent site? there is no way to trace me that I missed? it would only show i downloaded from pure VPN server not a torrent site? provider is my internet service provider which a community based one . Thanks | |

| yes not all vpns can be trusted to keep you safe as your finding out and some of the major providers are a real pain and use many scare tactics to get you to stop uploading/downloading as you are finding out! check out the tor browser it may help | |

| Sorry maybe I am dense, but it disconnects and stops downloading if i am not connected to my vpn server and the question really is, that if it does not show my ip but vpn servers how can my internet service provider see who I am connecting to? it connects to vpn site they to torrent site so no trace? | |

| I guess I'm a little late to this party but I'd like to contribute regardless. Instead of a VPN, you can get a seedbox for about the same price as a VPN. Download the torrent to your seedbox, create a torrent file in your seedbox using public trackers, now download the torrent to the system you want to download the files to. Doing it this way you're never connected to anyone else and nobody gets to see your IP address. I think it's safer than a VPN if you're worried about that. There might cheaper seedboxes around but a provider such as SeedHost offers 2TB seexboxes with 3TB monthly data for as little as 6 Euro. Might be worth looking into instead of a VPN. =) | |
