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

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

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.

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.

[-] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Honest question, why do people diss on Nord? (I'm also happy with Nord)

Nothing for me thanks to real debrid

I love that even the URL preview shows an IP address lol.

The site just grabs the viewers current IP I imagine it's probably whatever address is used by the instance to parse the URL and generate the preview, since it's different if I view it on my instance, vs if I view it on the original post on dbzer0

Just fun to notice I guess.

Hmm I had my buddy go to this and he claims his download history has things he never downloaded. He doesn’t use a VPN and no one in his house torrents but him. Also he primarily uses a seedbox. Confusing lol.

Oh he uses T-Mobile home internet so prob shares a public IP with more than a usual ISP

I'm in the same boat, I haven't torrented the "traditional" way in YEARS ever since I moved over to the superior Usenet

And yet, I'm seeing a small history list here as of a couple days ago hmmm and I'm on Crapcast so CGNET doesn't apply

Looks like I'll be doing some investigating today :/ maybe it's time I got off my ass and got Suricuta running on pfsense

What did your transition to Usenet look like? I just transferred from torrenting to Soulseek myself but it isn’t cutting it

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I transitioned to using it primarily for Sonarr and Radarr for TV and Movies. Its mostly a set and forget it if you choose the right providers and indexers.

I don't sail the Music sea because Spotify has filled all my needs for the price, same for the Gaming sea because of Game Pass.

Software, I usually just look around for freeware/open source alternatives or pay for it if it's of quality and worth the price.

Apparently I downloaded the fate of the furious 4 hours ago on mobile data according to it?

[-] millionsofplayers@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

turned on a vpn and 2 notable things on here are someone downloading one piece books and probably illegal content

[-] HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I am not familiar with mobile data, but I suspect mobile ips are dynamic or shared. Apparently my mobile-data-neighbor downloaded porn.

Thanks for the link! I lost this a while ago and I was loathe to find it. It comes around, doesn’t it? 😊

[-] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Just checked my own and was surprised nothing came up. I'd have thought I would have downloaded legit torrents from Ubuntu or Archive.org at the very least.

[-] bighatchester@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Well they know what I downloaded but I dont really care . Is there anything my Canadian ISP can do ?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

There's a small chance you'll get a letter with no follow-up.

[-] Virkkunen@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I don't use a VPN nor I bother with one, I download movie torrents all the time (5 this week already) and the list is completely empty. I do have dynamic IP but ir usually only changes after I restart my router, which I haven't done for a month now.

Lol it's showing a bunch of random shit.

Thing is, it's my phone's IP. I don't download anything on this thing.

I accidentally clicked on one of the similar IPs links without realizing and someone with that ip happened to have gotten some of the same stuff I did. I was briefly quite worried.

I have no idea what any of this is, but Japanese Mom 2 (in Korean) sounds promising.

[-] Polyester6435@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I have multiple torrents going right now and nothing shows up for me on the site

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I use Windscribe. I initially used it because the free version which gives you 10GB per month was enough for me. Then there was a deal on a lifetime subscription ages ago that I got for like $15.

If anyone wants a year subscription to Speedify VPN, DM me and I'll get you a key I got in a Humble Bundle years ago that I never used.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Just a little disclaimer: windscribe cannot be trusted for any other use than torrenting

[-] zipkag@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Can you elaborate? Or tell me where I can read more, I did not know this

proton vpn and nord vpn are the ones i use. both are great but nord is faster

[-] phx@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Nord doesn't support incoming NAT ports. Neither did Mullvad anymore for that matter. Does Proton?
