Does this work for anyone?

It shows some of my torrent downloads tangled with tons of other torrent downloads that are not mine. Looks like it's showing all downloads for a particular IP and my ISP uses shared IP for multiple customers.

Wait what, ISPs NAT their customers now?

That's just not cool

Why is this flagged?

Because users flagged it. A better question might be, "why did you flag this post?", although those who did won't likely see your comment. Edit: Your account is from 2012, are you still learning how this site works?

I do know how the HN works. But I can't see who flagged it. So it's really a genuine question - I don't see anything about the site that is against the guidelines. And I'm trying to understand why whoever flagged it did so.

For posts, flag seems to be a proxy for the missing downvote button, to many users. Sad, but that's the way it goes.

Well we have run out of IPv4 and ISPs aren’t in a hurry to adopt IPv6. Also, isn’t this common in apartment complexes?

...now that I think about it I think I was NATted before; I just wasn't smart enough to know what it was at the time. Now you have made me think.

Fun fact: the college I graduated had a /16 with a student population of ~4k. Every single device got it's own public IP address.

That has been the case for ages. Not all ISPs do it though.
