"In addition, the site offers a nifty spy tool where you can see what your friends are downloading, without knowing their IP-address. If someone clicks on a link you send them, their alleged download history shows up immediately, without the IP-address being exposed."[1]

VPN for the win! After receiving one of the threat letters from a cheesy law firm representing the RIAA and MPAA 3 years ago, all of my downloads via torrent go through a VPN. Keep yourself safe online.

Was this site supposed to have showed me what I downloaded?

VPN isn't a guarantee of safety. I got a DMCA warning for downloading one file once using a top VPN service.

Wow, they're just straight up distributing spyware and getting people to install it on their friends machines huh.

Stupid question : If I am on a college campus and using a VPN, does it in anyway protect me from the college authorities snooping on my data ? Will they know that I am downloading a torrent ? What about normal HTTP(S) data ?

Quite amusing if you put in a VPN IP:

Unless this site only shows what you're downloading at that moment, it doesn't seem to work. It shows nothing at all for me, even though I downloaded a large public torrent (the new CentOS release ISO) a few days ago. It wasn't even from a private tracker or something like that.
