I haven't used torrents for years, and it's showing stuff. Not on a VPN currently, and it's showing the wrong location (a bit outside my city).
Anyone know why?

Hmm I had my buddy go to this and he claims his download history has things he never downloaded. He doesn’t use a VPN and no one in his house torrents but him. Also he primarily uses a seedbox. Confusing lol.
Oh he uses T-Mobile home internet so prob shares a public IP with more than a usual ISP
I'm in the same boat, I haven't torrented the "traditional" way in YEARS ever since I moved over to the superior Usenet
And yet, I'm seeing a small history list here as of a couple days ago hmmm and I'm on Crapcast so CGNET doesn't apply
Looks like I'll be doing some investigating today :/ maybe it's time I got off my ass and got Suricuta running on pfsense
What did your transition to Usenet look like? I just transferred from torrenting to Soulseek myself but it isn’t cutting it
I transitioned to using it primarily for Sonarr and Radarr for TV and Movies. Its mostly a set and forget it if you choose the right providers and indexers.
I don't sail the Music sea because Spotify has filled all my needs for the price, same for the Gaming sea because of Game Pass.
Software, I usually just look around for freeware/open source alternatives or pay for it if it's of quality and worth the price.

I love that even the URL preview shows an IP address lol.
The site just grabs the viewers current IP I imagine it's probably whatever address is used by the instance to parse the URL and generate the preview, since it's different if I view it on my instance, vs if I view it on the original post on dbzer0
Just fun to notice I guess.

Yay private trackers I guess.
Lol it's showing a bunch of random shit.
Thing is, it's my phone's IP. I don't download anything on this thing.

Just checked my own and was surprised nothing came up. I'd have thought I would have downloaded legit torrents from Ubuntu or Archive.org at the very least.
Thanks for the link! I lost this a while ago and I was loathe to find it. It comes around, doesn’t it? 😊
I have no idea what any of this is, but Japanese Mom 2 (in Korean) sounds promising.
I accidentally clicked on one of the similar IPs links without realizing and someone with that ip happened to have gotten some of the same stuff I did. I was briefly quite worried.

Well they know what I downloaded but I dont really care . Is there anything my Canadian ISP can do ?
There's a small chance you'll get a letter with no follow-up.
I don't use a VPN nor I bother with one, I download movie torrents all the time (5 this week already) and the list is completely empty. I do have dynamic IP but ir usually only changes after I restart my router, which I haven't done for a month now.
Private trackers?
Nope, never used a private tracker before (forgot to add this). The site just seems innacurate.
I'm fairly sure my ISP is dynamic by default, I remember a neighbour having to pay extra for a static IP for a camera networking issue.

proton vpn and nord vpn are the ones i use. both are great but nord is faster
Nord doesn't support incoming NAT ports. Neither did Mullvad anymore for that matter. Does Proton?
I use Windscribe. I initially used it because the free version which gives you 10GB per month was enough for me. Then there was a deal on a lifetime subscription ages ago that I got for like $15.
If anyone wants a year subscription to Speedify VPN, DM me and I'll get you a key I got in a Humble Bundle years ago that I never used.
Just a little disclaimer: windscribe cannot be trusted for any other use than torrenting
Can you elaborate? Or tell me where I can read more, I did not know this
