I Know What You Download (via torrent) (iknowwhatyoudownload.com)

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

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?

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

The IP location in my experience is always very incorrect

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.
