Hello I would like to know whether each time one changes thier IP address and then visits a torrent site, if they have to login again, or does it auto keep you logged in? Iv seen on some sites that after a new IP it requires to login again, can any one else comment on this, thanks.

login is done by cookies
ive never come across a site requiring a static i.p to login
or 1 that requires u to log in again if ur i.p changes for that matter.

some sites require u to log into the site with each new i.p so the tracker recognises u before u can download.
the majority though, have done away with this, and use a key within the torrent file u download, to recognise u.

Maybe you have it set to clear your cookies everytime you close your browser or something like that.
