My oh my... I seem to have downloaded a lot of torrents on my phone.

And I have such eclectic tastes.

Shared IPs are still very much a thing you know...




Conversely, mine doesn't show anything even though I have a static IP and download frequently...

odd.


Yeah I found that odd as well.


Maybe it's because I only accept encrypted connections? Has my paranoia finally paid off?


I think they only track popular movies and some open source downloads (apparently my phone has downloaded the gimp port for windows). For my fixed IP it has nothing.

I've given up on torrenting long ago, but not the way the movie industry would like. If it's not on Netflix they can just keep it.


Someone else commented about a White House staffer downloading cracked copies of image editing software - so it's definitely not FOSS only!
