Earlier quoted context omitted.

> 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.

The US has very little CGNAT outside of mobile networks and small rural ISPs

Doesn't time Warner /comcast use CGNAT

Laughs 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.

Alternately, a seedbox or seebox-like service like Put.io.

My ISP actually prohibits P2P transfers, so whatever you're downloading, if you want to use torrents, it's the only way to go without getting nasty emails.

What about, say, Windows updates?

Apparently 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.

A better description would be “I know what people that happened to share your current IP address downloaded on BitTorrent”. Given that providers either implement dynamic addressing (unless the user pays for a static address) or NAT, it’s not accurate at all.
