I tried it from my Verizon smart phone and it showed me 4 downloads that happened Thursday night/Friday morning at 1am. I definitely wasn't downloading Torrents on my phone last Thursday nor was I downloading porn while visiting my family? I also don't use the phone as a hotspot. I'm not sure how to take that?

Dynamic IP. My IP is so heavily reused that there's hundreds of downloads, porn, tv shows, movies etc.

  I wonder why it's so frequently porn? The ones displayed on my device all have "Bubble Butt" in the title somewhere plus extras so it's clear it's all porn. I mean, I know the internet is based on porn but is that really most of what people use BT for now adays? lol

      Haha unintended advantage to this view, I now know that Flatliners came out! Oh. I must've missed it by a lot it doesn't seem to be in theaters anymore.

        It was very poorly received. Probably explains light advertising and short theater runtime. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/flatliners_2017/ https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/flatliners_2017/

        Damn it looked so good in the previews. I was really hoping it'd be good I really liked the original.

It was probably tracking the tower. I believe the towers use the same external IP for many internal mobile units that connect to it.

A pretty standard experience for any service which relies on IP and has mobile users. Presumably the constant connect/disconnect and changing map of devices makes dynamic IPs much simpler for mobile providers to use. You're also liable to find yourself banned from a website at some point, if they use IP ranges.

Shared IP pool for data users, I'd guess.
