- zamadatix 7y agoCurious if this actually lists anything accurate for anyone else. For me: Home - US, dynamic IP but unchanged in a year: nothing. Colo - US, static IP for 5 years: 7 things I haven't downloaded and can't find any history of on my disks or backup software. Seedbox - EU, static IP for 3 years: nothing. Home probably has <12 downloads, the other two should have thousands from various sources.
- juped 7y agoIt's very limited but tends to show normies some popular movies (and, crucially, embarassing pornography) they've torrented, which makes the overall point
- scandinavian 7y agoIt just scrapes public trackers. If you don't use public trackers, you wont show up.
- benhurmarcel 7y agoAt home it shows me ~20 downloads which I didn't do, and none of the ones I did. Not sure why.
- throwaway_bad 7y agoPretty impressive. Every anime I torrented off nyaa.si / horriblesubs was listed.
- sincerely 7y agoOkay, so I just checked this out, and there is a non-zero amount of child porn on the list. Is my roommate downloading CP? Is there any other explantion?
- easytiger 7y agois your IP dynamic? could be someone else on the same isp. Perhaps cgnat?
- peteretep 7y agoThe other explanation is that your ISP doesn't give you a static IP, and customers of your ISP have had this IP.
- sincerely 7y agoI just turned the router off and on again and the IP is the same :$
- zanny 7y agoYour IP is assigned on rotation by your upstream ISP, your router doesn't get to pick when the address changes unless you contact them and ask to have it changed.
- cgriswald 7y agoMy ISP assigns me the same IP address for months at a time before changing it seemingly at random. Without knowing how long you’ve had that IP address and how long the linked site keeps data for, it’s not really meaningful information.
- olalonde 7y agoMaybe your ISP is using carrier-grade NAT? [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
- gabriel34 7y agokeep an eye on that list, the last seen column should tell you if this is current of ancient activity, if he/she is seeding, correlating this with times your roommate is home (or his/hers pc on) should give you a good idea of whether this is him/her or someone else sharing your IP. Another such file coming up on that list is a strong indicator as well, and could help you even if he/she is no longer seeding. Keep in mind that remote control of a torrent client is possible. If you control the router you could try getting a new IP. All this without downloading the actual file
- voltagex_ 7y agoInteresting. I knew there were malicious peers around but that's the first I've seen that's so loud about it.
- rconti 7y agoHeh. A single ubuntu iso.
