kakarashi_r Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 my own IP address starts showing up under the list of peers for a specific torrent? I got the torrent by making a magnet link and a hash code provided for the torrent. I've never seen this type of behavior before, and oddly enough, when I click resolve IP addresses, it shows the username I use for this site. Am I simply just too paranoid or should I do something about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Am I simply just too paranoid or should I do something about this?Yes and No.Is your username used for anything else associated with your client? such as Preferences -> BitTorrent IP/hostname to report to tracker?Or the "name" of your computer in system properties?
