Today i got disconnected twice. That was maybe after 3.5GB of data transfer, in both cases. I cant tell exactly how much data i had transferred because the files are all gone/deleted. My fault! In any case there was no error message or windows dialogue. HSS then had problems to get reconnected. (default path: Installing Updates - Uninitialized - Disconnected - Starting VPN Process - Waiting for server - Authenticating - Pulling options - Assigning IP address - Connected)

After testing hotspot shield for 1 day nonstop, i can state:
It is VERY fast, and it allows you to use up your full bandwith (with parallel download streams). It is very stable: no disconnects or other connectivity problems. HSS provides a steady line! And if you have a major problem (e.g. after ~3.5GB's and/or the reconnect doesnt work), then rebooting the machine solves all problems.

So maybe there is a download limit (for a single IP session, without reconnecting), maybe there isnt. With disconnecting/reconnecting or rebooting the PC, the download limit exists only in theory. HSS also assigns IP numbers from different ISP's (some detectable as "proxy"-type, some not!) .. really nice.
some examples:

ISP: BandCon, WebSystemConsulting, Proxy: None Detected
ISP: NLAYER COMMUNICATIONS, Proxy: None Detected
ISP: nLayer Communications, GIGLINX, Proxy: None Detected
ISP: EGIHosting, Proxy: None Detected
ISP: Hurricane Electric, EGIHosting, Proxy: None Detected
ISP: Hurricane Electric, AFNCA, Proxy: None Detected
