I took at matrix reloaded forum thread and just though i have a look at http://www.torrentse.cx, and Matrix Reloaded is re-listed but without the web address, i decided to take a look at the details
http://www.torrentse.cx/stats.php?info_has...4861932d12423ed (http://www.torrentse.cx/stats.php?info_hash=b4445c64b1a586e705c7749574861932d12423ed)
and i found a list of all ip's that are downloading except for the last three numbers and if you click on the ip address it gives you a list of other files that the person is downloading, now all this make me a little concerned,
but what do you think?

2. I dont like idea from that site, of sharing the ips, like that... it bothers me.
3. could this be some sort of big ploy?

bittorrent uses trackers. the tracker for the torrent keeps track of all users currently on the torrent. when you start to download, it's the tracker who gives you guidance. that site simply has made the tracker stats public. you can only see files that you are downloading that uses that tracker.

the ip is not shown, only the network adress. i don't see a problem with it. ;)

That tracker no longer exists, since it has been almost 6 years since the first post.
