Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3M peers

I wonder how many anti-torrent groups are doing this covertly.

Definitely a few. Media companies often send out infringement notices to ISPs to be forwarded to the user and I would guess this is how they get those IPs

No tracker necessary, you can just use DHT: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/

huh, weirdly it has stuff I did download and stuff I didn't download within minutes of each other ... should I be worried?

Stop using DHT and/or public trackers and you will be safe. They scan public trackers and the DHT network.

Public trackers are the only trackers most of us can reasonably use. He should get a VPN.

private trackers and warez groups are the plentiful (IPTorrents, Speed, etc) if you are a good seeder and can maintain good ratios. anyone using a public tracker in 2025 deserves anything their ISP catches them doing imo.

public trackers and torrent sites are also just 90% malware and RATs.

Or you could just use a VPN, which you probably should for private trackers too anyway.
