So, for years I've been promising myself that when I have enough money I'll start donating to open source software developers and free websites I use. I finally decided that I'm never going to have "enough" money and that I should just start giving one small donation a month to different developers...
Opensubtitles' time has come! However, I ALWAYS use a VPN for ANY online activities. This is a personal choice and I'd rather this not turn into a debate about the merits/disadvantages of doing so. It seems that most of the IPs I get assigned are "throttled" by opensubtitles or something. I have to try repeatedly to download subtitles, waiting each time for a timeout before I can try again. (I have verified that things work normally without the VPN) It's frustrating enough that, for the programs that allow it, I have been using other subtitle sources (none of which seem to have this problem).
My question is if my problems will continue if I become a VIP member. Not all the programs I use allow me to log in, but I was thinking that maybe logging in via website using the same IP might do it? Or are VPNs and opensubtitles simple never going to play well together?
