Server Error 500 when I ck messages & A VERY EMBARASSING BUST by my ISP
-
Can you also explain the difference of a VPN and a seedbox and how they may help me skirt the traffic shaping and throttling of my connection by my ISP. I recently tried FootVPN and my upload speed improved from 7kBps to 150-450kBps. Downloading is jsut fine. But even still I have a S*&tload of Peer Error connection times you - peer disconnect, no route to host. I have a confirmed open port forwarded 35666.
I got the VPN this past week because my ISP called me and told me they heard from a content provider that I downloaded a specific file - which came from GT.ru. "Excuse me sir, but that BIG DADDY DICK file you downloaded yesterday :afr: involved a serious copyright infringement and the owner of that content has called us (a small town ISP co.) and asked us to have you delete the BIG DADDY DICK file immediately. Thank You" I just sort of laughed the whole thing off… which went like... "Oh no, you can't be serious, are you really. Well some crazy BIG DADDY DICK lovin FEMALE neighbor of mine must have hacked into my wireless router, which only uses the default security password, and SHE must have dowloaded the ummm BIG DADDY ______, ah hem FILE. It surely wasn't anyone here." To make the matte even worse was that the ISP had called my PARTNER (whos not into porn AT ALL), and TOLD HIM the whole story first. :afr: So, after some creative excuse making to all of them, I checked and I DID download the BIG DADDY DICK video...along with a ton of other embarrassing content from GT.ru. How did they know I did that, and with that specific file and all?
That breach of privacy freaked me out (not to mention embarrassed the hell out of me) so I got this FootVPN service (who are apparently part owners of PirateBay - so I figured they had to be cool with Torrents and all, but I didn't specifically ask them if they minded me downloading BIG DADDY DICK all male sex videos). I installed the VPN and it connected immediately and I traced the port 35666 which I forwarded and it says it's open, then I did a whatsmyip.com check and it believes I'm using some strange IP address from Sweden rather than me real IP address.
The VPN allows me to seed at a much higher rate, but honestly the only reason I survive on GT.ru is because I upload a S&%tload of torrents and recently chased in 10500 bonus points to balance my ratio. Should I have gotten a Seedbox instead? Can you explain how they could help me out?
ISSUE TWO:
Whenever I click on the NEW MESSAGES BUTTON or the YOU HAVE X NEW MESSAGES BANNER at the top of the page it IMMEDIATELY goes to a white screen that says SEVER ERROR 500. NEARLY ALL THE TIME. OCCASIONALLY I can check me GT.ru messages just fine - but it's rare. More often than not iIt's been happening for about a year now, and it's impossible to carry on any conversations with anybody. It works correctly maybe 1 in 30 times I check messages. IALL DEVICES AND ALL BROWSERS ALL THE TIME. What's the deal with that?It doesn't matter which computer, mobile device, or browser or IP address I'm using, it just happens CONSTANTLY and it's annoying.
BTW please provide and answer/fix here in this forum post, because...suprise I won't be able to read any PM you send me with advice.
Thank You for any advice you have on either of these issues.

From the sounds of it, it sounds like you downloaded this file while connected directly from your internet connection, rather than the VPN. The VPN itself will tunnel absolutely ALL of your internet traffic through the VPN server so that your ISP cannot see what you are doing, and by the same token, to the internet, you will appear as being somewhere other than where you really are.
As for the server error 500, I'm not sure what to say to that, as you seem to be the only person to experience this issue.
Now as for the speeds, this does make sense as most ISP's will automatically throttle your connection speed once they detect any kind of P2P traffic passing through your connection. When you're connected to the VPN on the other hand, all your ISP will see is your connection to the VPN, without being able to tell anything more.
As for having been "found out", this is likely a case of a copyright troll started IP sniffing through the peers list and found your IP address associated with an active P2P connection while you were downloading the file. This can easily be skirted around through the use of a VPN as this will mask your IP address to the internet as being that of your VPN, rather than that of your ISP.
