    So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍

      If anything, torrents have a region boost. Provided no one has servers or seedboxes set up, you’re going to benefit hugely from seeders near your location.

        Oh no! Anyway…

        Edit: checked the IP of my seedbox and about 75% of the entries listed aren’t valid. Weird.

        But also don’t panic out thinking someone on your network might have been torrenting weird stuff as you may just be behind CG-NAT or have dynamically assigned IP address.
        If you do have static public IP, consider the possibility of someone using your wireless connection without permission (even if you changed the password, don’t forget to disable WPS PIN, or at the very least change it from default PIN, it’s easy to forget about).

        If you have ever connected to a DHT network your address will be associated with more things than you can count. I’ve been running a DHT indexer/crawler and that page shows me shit I’ve never seen before in my life
