This can be used for entertainment, only is in no way reliable to know what y'all (or anyone else) downloads. Information technology could possibly deed every bit a starting point to runway what someone is downloading/seeding when used with other mechanisms.
> How we collect data
> Our organization collects torrent files in two ways: parsing torrent sites and listening DHT network. We take more than 1.500.000 torrents which where classified and which are using at present for collecting peer sharing facts (upward to 200.000.000 daily). We don't guarantee we tin show ALL peer sharing facts:
> Single IP accost could be assigned to multiple users. It depends on user's Isp. For instance mobile operators oftentimes used this schema.
Cocky-explanatory, but this could besides exist the case for home broadband where CGNAT is used. This ways your public torrent downloads (or even if you don't have whatsoever downloads) will be seen along with many others' downloads as a single list.
> IP address could be dynamic. In such case it changes every time user connects to the Internet or periodically.
Again, cocky-explanatory. Unless one obtains and uses a static addresses (not the default for near home connections), what you see hither could be somewhat similar to the previous point.
> User could download torrent which we don't have
Aka private trackers and torrents, which is what many people who know how to torrent and do it regularly would drift towards. The torrent files from private trackers set a "private" flag that makes the torrent client disable features like DHT (distributed hash table) and PEX (peer exchange) for those torrents. So unless yous have a working business relationship on the tracker and join a swarm, yous cannot discover out well-nigh other peers from public sources.
Probably the first stages of the bluish goo infiltrating our cyberphysical infrastructures. Prepare to exist disassembled for scanning!
Not a single one of the links listed is correct for me. (And I am not NAT'd.)
Clicking through on a particular torrent, till I get the IP list for that torrent, my IP doesn't really show on that list.
So I suspect a bug in the display, perhaps if you download nil, it shows incorrect info?
I practise wonder how their categorizations work. At that place are lot of things classified as Movies that are conspicuously Tv shows. This doesn't bode well for what they call "Child Porn". If they sell the lists of these IPs, it's rather scary to think it'southward as reliable as their Movie or Television receiver filters.
MacOS Mojave/Safari, Toronto, Canada. Dunno why, but I got zippo.
I just didn't run across anything in the list. shrug I guess information technology didn't work for me.
Is that surprising? I would presume the vast majority of people don't download torrents if I had to guess.
Well that was pretty interesting. Aught listed for my external IP as I expected. But I hopped onto one of my VPN providers endpoints and got a huge list - by and large Goggle box shows, movies, and porn. Not exactly unexpected merely still neat to see.
I recollect they accept just been joining the about agile torrents on popular trackers. You can't watch for what somebody torrents just with their IP address, yous have to be watching the torrent itself.
Unreliable. My Isp in Hamburg, Germany recently got some Iranian and Ukrainian IPv4 space allocated. And information technology locates me in Aachen, about 500km/310 miles to the southwest.
Well, not sure what I expected, merely my (dynamic) IP was used about a week ago to download a porn torrent and it's the only particular listed.
It shows some of my torrent downloads tangled with tons of other torrent downloads that are not mine. Looks like it's showing all downloads for a particular IP and my ISP uses shared IP for multiple customers.
...now that I call back about it I think I was NATted before; I merely wasn't smart enough to know what it was at the time. Now you have made me retrieve.
Fun fact: the college I graduated had a /xvi with a pupil population of ~4k. Every single device got it's own public IP address.
I hateful, it shows me results. I take no idea if its correct. I am working from a co-working space and it shows that someone on this IP has torrented a couple of xxx films.
Because users flagged it.
A better question might be, "why did you flag this postal service?", although those who did won't likely see your comment.
Edit: Your account is from 2012, are you still learning how this site works?
I do know how the HN works. But I can't see who flagged it. So it'south really a genuine question - I don't encounter anything most the site that is against the guidelines. And I'yard trying to understand why whoever flagged it did so.
For posts, flag seems to exist a proxy for the missing downvote button, to many users. Sorry, just that'southward the way it goes.
