This scares me...

http://www.ip-adress.com/

go to your peers tab in utorrent a pick a random ip address. Copy it and search for it on that site. It will give u a google map image which apparently is accurate to about a quarter of a mile of where the person lives.

[relleuM]

and? :) lol who didn't know this already...

[WarrenBuffet]

I "knew" this, but I didn't realize that I was downloading an album from my next door neighbor!

[Alfonso]

wow...it's that easy....

[SAM]

it scares me too :(

[fOrUmAs]

lol i didint know this,looks very interesting :D

[Alfonso]

my peers from from filelist.ro are from Romania.

NO WAY!!

[TheFoX]

The IP will be resolved to the local hub of your ISP, not your home address, since IPs are issued by country, then by ISP.

[relleuM]

at zaa730 :\ ok that's strange :P

Knock his door and say he needs to seed faster so you have the album quicker :P

[The Gladiator]

Me neither forumas :)

I was dl'ing it at 1.1mBps :)

Yep.

1/4 mile. :lol: Buffoon.

[sokrates]

hm it was like 7 miles away.. not very impressing :P

In that case you should go hug that man, cause that's awesome :happy:

Or at least give him a cookie!

In uTorrent you can still resolve IPs.....

[cocalait]

Already knew that. Yes, it's a strange feeling knowing that anyone can see where you live.

[colbert]

If I was in a public tracker downloading a movie on Saturday that just got released on Friday, yeah I might be a little concerned my IP is being broadcast to everyone in the swarm. But since most of my time is on private trackers, I really don't care. Especially when there's barely 5 people seeding.

[seppypom]

Mine shows 7 towns away, a few IP's ago, it showed the wrong state!

[sleepyy]

I think it just shows you local office or exchange I'm a few miles away from where it's shown on the map

[Aether]

hm it was like 7 miles away.. not very impressing :P

Same, 5-7 miles for me :lol:

[SenorBubbz]

It showed my exact position, which is really weird according to the fact that it showed you guys 5 miles off.

[tusks]

I use this tool all the time actually. It's great for finding a fast seeder, pinpointing his location to make sure it's out of the country and scanning his IP range for open FTP servers :naughty: ;)

[BOOM]

Lol...9 miles away!!
not a problem, in my opinon...

[kondrae]

impressive. this is the most accurate whois Ive come across. off by one city ~15 miles.
other ones just showed where my isp hub was

[Zaxx]

Yep...it just shows your ISP's nearest hub. Must say...closer than most I've seen..~15-20 off.

[XtriBit]

The IP will be resolved to the local hub of your ISP, not your home address, since IPs are issued by country, then by ISP.



Yeah mine just shows my isp. Not my house.

[pone44]

what about other clients? same thing?

[pimfram]

It shows where your internet connection comes from, not where you are located.

[teicoplanin]

it got my country right but the locations more than 100miles away from where I really am..

[Spartan]

LOL!!! Got traced back to a cemetery... Now I'm really scared!

[DarkLured]

Fun stuff. Let the stalking commence. :)

[tralalala]

They missed me by about 100 miles :D

[TheWho420]

same here 100+ miles

[Wormtail]

Oh, that's bad :(

My neighour is a 80 year old lady, so , she dont have a clue of what a computer is :D

[B4ss]

at zaa730 :\ ok that's strange :P

Knock his door and say he needs to seed faster so you have the album quicker :P


hhhhhhh...xD

[grimms]

Creepy. They were only less then 50 miles off from my true location. Not a good look.

[VIZFX]

Now if they only had the time and budget to go after all the big fish....I think where good.

[pECi]

surprisingly me and another couple 65k people live on the same roof

[boxmanuser]

you have to download from someone why not the guy who lives next to you.

[tgp]

Wow, wrong country. That should be the easiest thing to determine so i'm not impressed.

[willsmith099]

It shows me like 20 miles away the place exactly where the isp servers are located,So no need of fear or sumthin cuz actually it shows the server location rather than ur loactaion

[gabdar]

omg so scare it show where i am close
no ppl only me right?
even mile radius there 100 ppl to choose from if someone want find
scare cat u scare then stop dl illegal file
even if narrow 4 ppl no scare cuz i soldier
:fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst::fst:

[saqib]

hell noooo :(

[djkamikaze]

you can get the exact same info @ dnsstuff.com, hell when you enter an IP address, they even have an exact google map of the IP's location right there at the bottom of the first page! There are several sites like that, but all of them are only about 90% accurate. (they are wrong about location or even country about 1 out of 10 times)... those are only the public dns tracers though, law enforcement has access to more accurate results, and a simple court order to the ISP will give them an actual physical address, name of subscriber, etc.

Nothing you do on the internet is really private, but the average bitorrent user doesn't have much to worry about unless they're downloading kiddie porn or planning the next al qaeda attack.

[kiyasmom]

That is a bit scary. Maybe my mom's prophesies of "the people" coming to get me for pirating is true. :)

[_coder_]

It located it my IP in some remote park, which is really weird.

[primevil]

static ip's are good

[slimdogp]

Apparently I live in the middle of a lake

I need to stop spending money watering my lawn, sheesh.
