I haven't used torrents for years, and it's showing stuff. Not on a VPN currently, and it's showing the wrong location (a bit outside my city).
Anyone know why?
Probably because you have a dynamic IP so it shows torrents from other people.
The IP location in my experience is always very incorrect
If you would like a more technical explanation search for CG-NAT. It allows ISP's to share a single static public facing IP with several customers at once.
If you had a true static IP that never changed you've only see results about torrents downloaded using your router.
