bittorrent surveillance

I ran across this website recently which alarmingly displayed some of the files I have downloaded over the past few weeks.

After a brief moment or minutes of panic, I decided to investigate how that might have happened.

This is likely how it occurred in great detail.

I figure this will become a huge issue shortly, if not only for extortion attempts using the "Enter your email to be removed" trick, thereby allowing them to connect your ip to your email.

Looking forward to seeing this fixed real soon, as the option of turning DHT off will generate a great load on the trackers.
