I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?

Someone else who uses the same VPN as I is really into butt stuff. I have to question their commitment to 480p though.

[–] kbal@fedia.io 114 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Could be worse. Someone sharing my IP is into really freaky stuff like "kubuntu-23.10-desktop-amd64.iso"

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 48 points 10 months ago

23.10? Non LTS?? What a disgusting freak!

[–] apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca 25 points 10 months ago

Really tame vanilla stuff over here, I'm seeing debian-12.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso

[–] Morgikan@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago

Kubuntu? Whore.

Sometimes quantity is more important than quality. Hard drives ain't free.

[–] King4408@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

But hard-ons are apparently.

I love this website. It's usually pretty accurate, except for..

Two big hard monster cocks pumped up Marilyn Crystal gaping ass & pussy FS033 sd.mp4

MyDaughtersHotFriend.23.06.07.Freya.Von.Doom.XXX.1080p.HEVC.x265.PRT[XvX]

I think I'd remember those...

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It can show things that you've never downloaded if your ISP assigns a dynamic or shared IP. So it means some of your neighbors are into that kind of thing.

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

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 31 points 10 months ago

Meanwhile me, who is behind so many layers of badly configured ISP NAT that there's no way anyone knows exactly what computer is downloading what: 😈

[–] Encode1307@lemm.ee 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My fellow Windscribe VPN users are downloading some freaky shit.

Home internet was empty. Mobile internet has a few Marvel movies and shit like that. VPN has child porn.

Feels pretty icky to share the same ip as some people downloading those lame ass movies

How bizarre, none of the items on the list were actually things I downloaded, and none of the things I downloaded were on the list.

[–] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Same for me... I wonder what's going on? ~/s~

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

probably your ISP doing funky things

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Public perception isn't aware of the dynamic and changing nature of most IP addresses.

Once you are though it's easy to see why the site might not work or even show incorrect results.

This legitimately is only showing me Linux ISOs... Huh... Guess I'm good to go then!

[–] dannym@lemmy.escapebigtech.info 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

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
[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)
  • Sailor Girl Stuck In A Wall.rar

Just when I think nothing can surprise me anymore.

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

It is always a joy to see what my virtual neighbors download... Some have a very refined... Taste.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 10 months ago

*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.

[–] Krafting@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Being behind IPv6 CGNAT mean I see other's people downloads too with "my" ip

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does CGNAT protect from ISP letters?

Because for all the pain it causes me, it should at least be useful for something

I’ll admit, this spooked me, but for different reasons than the OP and most comments.

I didn’t recognize any of the downloads, even though I have a publicly routable static IP and don’t use a VPN (I have a domain and self host so I know my IP hast changed in years).

I use exclusively private trackers, and nothing I’ve actually downloaded showed up, and the things that did were sporadic—one every couple days or so, first/last seen times identical, random torrents. I started asking myself if I had a rogue device in my network, so I checked logs and stats—nothing unusual (I think…I hope…hard to tell sometimes).

I looked more into how this site tracks peers, and it seems they have different levels of confidence. Their first API tier (peer API) is a “best guess” and this is based on listening to the DHT and PeX networks for their known torrents. I’m guessing their website uses this or a combination of this with their other APIs. I looked at my torrent config and saw I hadn’t disabled DHT/PeX and had a couple idle public torrents.

Not positive on this, but I think there can be false positives if your torrent box participates in DHT/PeX even if it doesn’t actually download said torrents. Can anyone confirm this?

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 10 months ago

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)

[–] Moyer1666@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

I don't use a VPN and the list that comes up for me here isn't remotely accurate

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Cool. The government is incompetent and tech illiterate here so I'm safe anyway. It's like running from a bear, I just have to outrun the others running from it.

There are people who pirate stuff from telegram using their mobile numbers, so I'm fine.

Heads up, this website doesn't get data on stuff you download from private trackers, only public.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

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!

AirVPN cuz I dont know any other with port forwarding thats cheap like that

[–] 404@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 months ago

TIL I download tantra, kama sutra and yoni massage books/epubs

Great to see the IP scrambling works as it is supposed to

[–] M137@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago

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

The IP location in my experience is always very incorrect

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.

Nothing for me thanks to real debrid

[–] marionberrycore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

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.
