Does this work for anyone?


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.


Wait what, ISPs NAT their customers now?

That's just not cool


Well we have run out of IPv4 and ISPs aren’t in a hurry to adopt IPv6. Also, isn’t this common in apartment complexes?


...now that I think about it I think I was NATted before; I just wasn't smart enough to know what it was at the time. Now you have made me think.

Fun fact: the college I graduated had a /16 with a student population of ~4k. Every single device got it's own public IP address.


That has been the case for ages. Not all ISPs do it though.


I mean, it shows me results. I have 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.
