internet recognise approximately me?", Contributed by way of José Arroyo ,
with the intention of informing you about special methods of discovering which
statistics of yours may be public at the net without you being aware that they

Can you find out the downloads I do?
The downloads made through the BitTorrent protocol can be
public on the Internet, this protocol uses a p2p machine for report change, in
order that your laptop also becomes the source of the file you're downloading
to serve it to different users. The entire corporation and connections are
managed via a server known as a tracker.
By registering all connections in the tracker, until you use
a private tracker, everyone can recognize what is being downloaded from an IP
address.
