This is what I never understood. Also how can this not lead to issues being compromised downloading illegal stuff from your service provider who knows exactly which customer has which IP at which time?

Great point. You do have to put a LOT of trust in that service provider.

Because all you are downloading is a bunch of encrypted data, they can't tell for certain what you are downloading.
