Please elaborate, sometime ago I got literally CSAM that I would never download on my iknowwhatyoudownload and I got ultra paranoid about it.
I assumed someone had hacked my router or had a libtorrent 0day and was trying to incriminate me as those torrents would only appear when I had qbittorrent open.
Caused me quite a lot of stress thinking that the cops would knock my door and take my computers at any moment.
I don’t use a VPN because that’s not required for torrenting in my country.
I know that I’m not behind a cgnat coz I can even forward port 80
AFAIK iknowwhatyoudownload gets their data from DHT and public trackers. i’ve also had numerous cases where I only seeded literal linux ISOs or some music and have weird porn or random tv show episodes shown on that site from my IP which I had only one machine connected for a fairly long time, not behind CGNAT. it appears to be that some public trackers sometimes report bogus data for some reason, claming some random IP is seeding some random file when they’re in fact not. you can see many items on public indexers where the seeder/leecher numbers shown aren’t accurate (mostly >0 when it’s a completely dead torrent), i suspect this is also the same reason.
exact same first and last seen timestamp, probably bogus data reported by the tracker not a legit download

I see, that’s reassuring. Everyone I talked to said ikwyd was accurate for them or they were behind a cgnat, which made me very worried. Thank you.
