Well, not sure what I expected, but my (dynamic) IP was used about a week ago to download a porn torrent and it's the only item listed.

You're not downloading popular torrents on public trackers?

Is that surprising? I would assume the vast majority of people don’t download torrents if I had to guess.

Not at all, I was proposing why the list would be empty.

Well that was pretty interesting. Nothing listed for my external IP as I expected. But I hopped onto one of my VPN providers endpoints and got a huge list - mostly TV shows, movies, and porn. Not exactly unexpected but still neat to see.

I did the same thing, as there was nothing on my private IP, but as far as VPN provider goes, the people I share an IP with are monsters.

unless you pay extra for a static ip, there's bound to be false-positives on a site like this.

I've had the same IP for months now.

Multiple homes/routers/connections can be assigned the same IP.

I believe now that you're on the list they'll track what you download?

Not a single one of the links listed is correct for me. (And I am not NAT'd.)

I downloaded some stuff the other day and it shows up fine for me.
