Someone in my neighbourhood appears to be downloading an archive of reddit: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/torrent/6c346a1e2c52dc45a86987b7316b2ae72fd66e95629bea955d6e04bd32a6f6e4c77b52a26b1c583c0b5472035f39f34b/reddit

hahaha I guess it doesn't work well then XD
Edit: Although, it doesn't have everything so maybe it works a little bit
For information on it: Anonymous Mode
Oh wow, I have mullvad VPN and apparently it works perfectly. The list is just completely empty with the vpn off.
How do you find mullvad? like in terms of speed/price/tracking
All of those are great. They just removed port forwarding but barely anyone else has it anyways
@SpaceCadet2000 holy shit i didnt know this existed! also if i see something here that i didn't torrent does that mean someone in my apartment be torrenting?
Yes, if you have a static IP address. If you have a dynamic IP address you can just be seeing the other people who previously had that IP address. It will depend on your ISP.
