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

    Use a VPN? Like a public one. Mullvad recommended.

      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.

        it is my understanding that some private trackers dont allow you to use VPNs or risk a ban

It combines all the fun of pledge week with a fraternity with the wrong-headed attitudes that became part of the culture when ftp servers were the height of technology. And you just have to schedule an interview and learn the secret knock/handshake. Don't ever invite anyone, because if they're the wrong type, you get banned for their behavior too. >public trackers and torrent sites are also just 90% malware and RATs. It's an mkv file. Don't double click exes.

    Sorry, should have been more specific - I don't care if people know what I downloaded - I just wonder how stuff I definitely didn't download is attributed to my IP address. Can't be that my dynamic IP address changed, because of the small time between stuff I did download and stuff I didn't. So then, is the scanner wrong, or do I have rouge device(s) on my network?

  Many trackers will add dummy data to prevent profiling. There is no validation to claims. It’s nice to look at, but not reliable.

Interestingly they put the infohash of the show in the URL. So one can use that website to pick which show to download just by using the hash + DHT Edit: Nope I'm wrong, different type of hash it seems...
