Fair enough, I was under the impression that if you are using SSL, all an ISP or VPN provider could see is that you are connected to whichever backbone provider you were connected to. I.e. The content of what you are downloading is encrypted.
You could be downloading stuff that is not illegal, and I don't think that is necessarily knowable by anyone except yourself.
I may be way off here, I'm not an IT person, but that was my understanding of SSL.
I'd say as a general rule any encryption can be cracked, but usually it is not worth the time and effort to do so.
