Same for me. It could be because I use private trackers.

The collection method here do not actually verify if the information given by the DHT network is correct, which should be rather obvious when the data include invalid IP addresses. A node when receiving a GetPeer request can simply make up any claims they want.
Of course law enforcement don't operate on guaranties and even weak evidence can help if a already suspected person is involved in an investigation, but its important that we distinguish between weak evidence vs strong evidence. The GetPeer reply is about as good as an anonymous tip arriving by email.

Yup. ISP gets DMCA notice, notice says date and time and IP -- ISP absolutely capable of knowing which customer was assigned that IP at that time. You can't really take DMCA notices with a "grain of salt". Many ISPs will just cut you as a customer after you get enough of them, as DMCA notices require effort on their part and the amount of effort their IT and legal staff spend dealing with other IT and legal staff loo…
I've gotten plenty. The most that's happened is Comcast injected a warning that refused to disappear into my http traffic until I called the list phone number.
After you do that, they basically forget all the notices (although the copyright holder can still sue you).

#55Not from the States, not on AT&T Wireless. None of my torrents is shown. I think you don't know anything.
Re: I Know What You Download on BitTorrent
#56Was this site supposed to have showed me what I downloaded?
Based on their about page (and some assumptions), their method is to web scrape a bunch of popular torrent sites and then do a simple getpeer request to harvest a list of peers.

Seems possible, check this out:
Re: I Know What You Download on BitTorrent
#58By putting the infohash in the URL your site is effectively equivalent to The Pirate Bay - you're distributing links to pirated content, the only important thing in a magnet link is the infohash, the rest can be obtained via DHT. For example: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/torrent/?infohash=81ac3d... -> magnet:?xt=urn:btih:81ac3df677afb84211d59443fbb65f5f584cfa1a Paste into torrent client and download. You might…
They have Russian interface (https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/ru/peer/), so I guess they are based in Russia? Also, Russian "about page" is more informative than English: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/ru/contacts/

#59I 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 wi…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
Carrier-grade NAT (CGN), also known as large-scale NAT (LSN),
is an approach to IPv4 network design in which end sites,
in particular residential networks,
are configured with private network addresses that are translated
to public IPv4 addresses by middlebox network address translator
devices embedded in the network operator's network,
permitting the sharing of small pools of public addresses among many end sites.
This shifts the NAT function and configuration thereof from the customer premises to the Internet service provider network.Re: I Know What You Download on BitTorrent

An IP address is not grounds for proof anymore. It's like saying every citizen is assigned their own IPV4 address, which is likely wrong, as more often than not an IPV4 address is shared by a pool of users.
