No worries. From what I can see in the forums they approve you for the IP you will using to download everything. If you aren’t on that IP then downloads will be blocked. More specifically I think your browser and torrent client must have the same IP but like I said I don’t know much about how VPNS work as I’ve never really used one.
Couple forum posts. The single one is from a moderator and also the person who did my interview to get into the website. That also ended up having to change VPN providers to get someone who would let them stick with a more static IP address.
If you are still interested I’d highly recommend showing up during one of the days they have registration. Can talk to them about it during the interview to get your invite and they would have way more knowledge and information about it.
