How much impact and/or protection does the VPN provide you? Will the provider will still see their files leaving their streaming servers, correct? I have just started using this product and it is outstanding....I like the statement on how it can be fun!
I do have a tech question and I hope I am not abusing this opportunity here....I am new at this. I will download maybe 2-3 seasons and all of a sudden I get the red error msg (download aborted) with "see error log" for details. I am finding out that my network connection (now a earth symbol on taskbar) has been corrupted. The only way is to reboot and then bam, I'm back at it. Any suggestions on why it happens....it happens on cat5 and WiFi. Thanks for your time and all Y'ALL do! Win 11 Pro, Running AS, v1.4.8.0....just upgraded today to v1.4.9.0.
I see a lot of requirements that I need to upload a log file....can do, if needed. Just want to be clear I provide the actual info needed....where would the log file be located?
First...never be afraid to ask anything.
Upper Left Corner, click file and you'll see create log file.
I downloaded over 800 episodes from Amazon yesterday...didn't get banned.
If you are downloading with the intent on uploading them elsewhere...that could cause you problems.
In my experience, you'll trip a error on WiFi more often than Ethernet, but both will happen. It could be your own network
or your ISP. If you need to reboot your computer, chances you overloaded it's ability to keep up. No big deal...you could slow downloads a little
or just fix the error when it happens. Glitches do just happen also.
If you are downloading something you have a right to watch...you paid for...you don't have a lot to worry about. Most providers use CDN's that serve millions
of people...not a lot to worry about. A VPN will protect you from your ISP seeing what you are uploading if you do that, but I think the question remains on
whether or not the provider knows what you are downloading. If you look at your watched history...you normally won't see shows listed that you
downloaded and you don't actually ask the provider for a decryption key. Now...do they have records showing what IP download each file...Probably. Can they
tell if a file you downloaded was uploaded, probably yes on that too....so just enjoy and use it as it was intended...for your own personal use.
