> you didn't have to login in vlsub unless you use VPN for some strange reason So, you don't have to login unless you have to login. Got it. Also, this: https://github.com/exebetche/vlsub#2013-09-05-version-0910 > 2013-09-05 (version 0.9.10) > Add possibility to set opensubtitles.org username/password in config menu to avoid download limit to unlogged users You can add this to the list of reasons you needed username/password for vlsub at some point, when you hit their download limit. Which is something that used to happen a lot with fansubs.
