I have not downloaded any of these, how are these associated with my IP address?
If your internet provider dynamically assigns IP addresses, they may have been downloaded by people who previously had your current IP address.

#22Laughs in Usenet. The proliferation of streaming services and restricted content has me investing in alternative options more these days. It's not about paying for content, it's about content becoming less accessible again.

#23haha, no you don't.

#24I'm on a personal 4G sim wifi router currently and the results are completely wrong.

#25Apparently Blindspot, Warrior, Hanna and the Twilight zone is pretty popular for my ip address. I've never downloaded any of these and Twilight zone is the only one i've even heard of. I also can't torrent things through my service provider, they throttle them, so i've never actually used a torrent program at all from this IP. So, that I guess...
Has your IP address changed recently? I definitely didn't want to post this under the implication that it is always 100% accurate.
Maybe, it's a mobile IP so I'm pretty sure it changes regularly. I know I can force it to change by turning airplane mode on and off. I've avoided IP bans this way.

#26Funny to see how many movies are torrented on a mobile 4g network. What a waste of bandwidth.

#27I can see this being used by law enforcement in countries where IP address = person that rents it.
This is a long term practice in Germany. Lawyers connect to the swarm, collect peers and then send letters in an automated way to "shake down" people. The solution is to use VPNs or private trackers and it's pretty widely known. If you move into a flat / AirBnB one of the first things people will tell you is to not torrent on the connection.
Heck in the US one law firm actually seeded the porn themselves ... then sued the people who they accused of downloaded it ;)
Didn't work out for them long term though....

#28Since I go through a VPN, I'm more accurately seeing what other people who use my same VPN are torrenting. Surprisingly not as much porn as I would have guessed?
A pity that the output columns seem to be fixed, or else I could probably do some fun analysis.

#29Impressive! Perfect match for the few things I download from public swarms :)

> in countries where IP address = person that rents it. Does that actually exist today? At least IPv4 addresses I would expect to increasingly mean nothing, as address exhaustion drives more people behind CGNAT.
Even with dynamic IPs (Not NAT in this case) it's not a problem as ISPs in most countries have to keep a record who used the IP at which point in time.
