> Torrent Downloads: If an IP address detected downloading torrents, the risk level is considered extreme. Why? There is some more info in the README at Github ( https://github.com/binaryedge/ratemyip-openframework ), but nothing about why torrents induce extreme risk level .

We will add this information, but essentially we and other partners have seen a high quantity of torrents infected with malware. We intend to fine tune this in the future to differentiate the torrents depending on category!

Does this work with dynamic IP addresses? In the fine print at the bottom of the page, it says that "the data has been collected passively over the last month," and I'm not sure how you can do that for a dynamic IP address. Could you enlighten me?

Hi, essentially we scan the entire IPv4 space, 200 ports per month. What we mean by that is that when you open the page a scan won't open targeted directly at your ip address!
