I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?
I have no idea what any of this is, but Japanese Mom 2 (in Korean) sounds promising.
Yay private trackers I guess.
I’ll admit, this spooked me, but for different reasons than the OP and most comments.
I didn’t recognize any of the downloads, even though I have a publicly routable static IP and don’t use a VPN (I have a domain and self host so I know my IP hast changed in years).
I use exclusively private trackers, and nothing I’ve actually downloaded showed up, and the things that did were sporadic—one every couple days or so, first/last seen times identical, random torrents. I started asking myself if I had a rogue device in my network, so I checked logs and stats—nothing unusual (I think…I hope…hard to tell sometimes).
I looked more into how this site tracks peers, and it seems they have different levels of confidence. Their first API tier (peer API) is a “best guess” and this is based on listening to the DHT and PeX networks for their known torrents. I’m guessing their website uses this or a combination of this with their other APIs. I looked at my torrent config and saw I hadn’t disabled DHT/PeX and had a couple idle public torrents.
Not positive on this, but I think there can be false positives if your torrent box participates in DHT/PeX even if it doesn’t actually download said torrents. Can anyone confirm this?

Damn that’s a shady website
I just recently started running Bitmagnet, a DHT crawler. Let me tell you huwhat now, that just made me laugh so hard I had pee almost come out.
Lol somebody using the same VPN as me downloaded a 275 GB collection of some porn star’s videos… 5 hours in the future
(I know about time zones, don’t @ me)
