I Know What You Download From A Select Few Public Trackers We Monitor

LordKitsuna,

Sites like these are always useless, they never showed jack shit for me. Because I don’t use public trackers I stick with private ones and those stupid Bots don’t have access to private trackers

Vegan_Joe,

Any suggestions for good private trackers?

LordKitsuna,

There are plenty of good ones out there, but be ready to invest a lot of time getting into them. The accounts I have I have had for over 10 years and it took probably a good 2 to 3 years to actually get into those better places. You have to actually build up a reputation of maintaining good ratio at smaller sites and get invited by a member. It’s a pain in the ass but it’s also worth it, way better content, way better speeds

spaceaape,

Try to find a place with open registration or someone whose got a spare invite. Ive managed to get into a couple. But to get into the better private trackers it takes time building up your intro private tracker accounts.

marionberrycore,

Wow! With vpn on (as usual) I get tons of other people’s stuff - almost entirely movies and TV, lots of Bluey episodes in particular? Makes sense I don’t see anything of mine, bc I haven’t torrented anything in the past few days. When I turned the vpn off, nothing showed up. I suspected my rommate wouldn’t be torrenting bc he always asks me to do it for him lol, he’s less tech savvy, but it would be funny if something of his actually did show up.

*Results my vary in accuracy due to the nature of dynamic, Shared, or incorrectly assigned IP Addresses.

Also

*Results only included from Public trackers, private trackers do not show up.

HumanPerson,

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.

decisivelyhoodnoises,

Nah, most probably this IP, since it is close to yours, was also assigned to you at some point in time, while downloading or seeding said torrent

HumanPerson,

I have a static IP and I didn’t recognize the stuff after the top few things.

M137,

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?

Tau,

Probably because you have a dynamic IP so it shows torrents from other people.

The IP location in my experience is always very incorrect

volleyballcrocodile,

If you would like a more technical explanation search for CG-NAT. It allows ISP’s to share a single static public facing IP with several customers at once.

If you had a true static IP that never changed you’ve only see results about torrents downloaded using your router.

d00phy,

The folks on similar IPs to me really like porn.

I’m on Nord. I know a lot of folks on here diss it, but I’ve been mostly happy with it.

kerrigan778,

Honest question, why do people diss on Nord? (I’m also happy with Nord)

biddy,

Their aggressive, misleading and clickbait ads, particularly as YouTube sponsorships. From my experience the product is fine, but the ads make it seem like their covering up for something.

d00phy, (edited )

Adding to this, there’s probably a general feeling that, especially with publicly traded companies (which Nord isn’t… yet), profit motive will inevitably cause a company to make decisions that don’t align with its customer’s best interests. The idealist in me thinks it’s possible for a company to be profitable without being shitty towards its customers. The cynic in me thinks there’s probably more profit in being shitty.

That said, profit keeps companies in business. If you’re getting it for free, you’re either the product, pirating it, or relying on others to keep it going. I won’t say paying for it guarantees future availability and development, but that profit motive also motivates continuing development. Kind of a double edged sword, there.

floofloof,

I’m on Nord too and it has been the best for getting around regional restrictions. Mullvad looks trustworthy but there were sites I couldn’t access.

bionicjoey,

Website is blank for me. I guess that just confirms my suspicions that a VPN would be a waste of money for me personally

NaoPb,

Same here.

Strawberry,

I suspect they can only track certain public torrents

voracitude,

And this is why - all together now - “An IP is not an ID”. They don’t know what you’ve downloaded; they know what some number of IP addresses have downloaded from some trackers at some points, and you might be have been assigned one of those IPs after the fact. They aren’t useful, alone.

It says mine is a static IP when it’s not. And shows some downloads that I don’t even know.

Dynamic IP for the win!

the results for me are hilarious, who knew people in my general area downloaded so much porn… and… weird porn at that

it’s literally only porn, who the heck torrents porn?

some of the most hilariously sounding things on that list:

very nsfw- FATAL ECSTASY.rar - I was looking for work as a voice actor but I was made to do a motion capture sex.rar - Picking up girl on the way home from a live show and having sex!.rar - Divine Fuck VR Sex Worship - Sailor Girl Stuck In A Wall.rar - ReEro - Ejaculating in Another World ver.2.0 [EnglishMTL].rar - Intercourse Study Week.rar

mindbleach,

who the heck torrents porn?

People with very specific tastes, apparently.

can,
  • Sailor Girl Stuck In A Wall.rar

Just when I think nothing can surprise me anymore.

disheveledWallaby,

Surrounded by Randals. --> NSFW language.

Polyester6435,

I have multiple torrents going right now and nothing shows up for me on the site

sysadmin420,

Lol it’s blank.

CrabAndBroom,

Mine was full of stuff, all of it incorrect. Which I assume means my VPN is doing its job lol

Strawberry,

Lol somebody using the same VPN as me downloaded a 275 GB collection of some porn star’s videos… 5 hours in the future

(I know about time zones, don’t @ me)
