#12VPN 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.
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 ?
They can see your encrypted packets are going to a known VPN IP; that's about all they can tell. They can't peer into the tunnel. If you are sending and receiving hundreds of megabits per second day in day out they can probably infer you are torrenting, but are unlikely to care unless your bandwidth usage ventures into their "user abusing our networks" territory.

#13Apparently not if I'm using IPv6:

Quite amusing if you put in a VPN IP: [NSFW - adult links] https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/peer/?ip=173.254.222.162
I'm using a VPN too (via AirVPN). The stuff people are downloading from this VPN IP is kinda scary, TBH.

#16How we collect data
Our system collects torrent files in two ways: parsing torrent sites and listening DHT network. We have more than 500.000 torrents which where classified and which are using now for collecting peer sharing facts (up to 700.000.000 daily). We don't guarantee we can show ALL peer sharing facts:
Single IP address could be assigned to multiple users. It depends on user's ISP. For example mobile operators often used this schema.
- IP address could be dynamic. In such case it changes every
- time user connects to the Internet or periodically.
- User could donwload torrent which we don't have

VPN isn't a guarantee of safety. I got a DMCA warning for downloading one file once using a top VPN service.
5 dollars say your torrent client wasn't using the VPN.

Which means your VPN service is telling your IP to authorities, which makes it not secure, which brakes the purpose of VPN service
Re: I Know What You Download on BitTorrent
#19I find this extremely inaccurate - especially when ISPs rotate your IP address.
It mentioned that I downloaded the following on Dec 11th:
1. Office 2016 Pro
2. Assassin's Creed Unity
3. Watchdogs
Not only is it completely inaccurate, no one used my internet on Dec 11th (which meant my IP was probably shuffled by my ISP to someone else).
This is one of the reasons why you should probably take all those DMCA notices with a pinch of salt...it's almost impossible to argue that you pirated in the first place.

#20Unless 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.
Well it only shows torrents they track... if you downloaded a torrent that wasn't being tracked it won't show it.
