Have you checked the thread on csrin for a cracked executable?

edit: you were asking for feedback about specifically those two VPNs, so my comment was useless.
No one mentioned cdromance, so I'll do that. Pretty much the only source I use besides Vimm's Lair. Also, when you can, prefer US versions over EU, as the former run at 60FPS while usually EU PAL are locked at 50FPS, if I'm not mistaken.
VPN isn't specifically for pirating, personally I could even torrent without it, no one would give a crap; my situation aside, you can DDL without a VPN and you'd still be in the clear
