Has your IP address changed recently? I definitely didn't want to post this under the implication that it is always 100% accurate.

A better description would be “I know what people that happened to share your current IP address downloaded on BitTorrent”. Given that providers either implement dynamic addressing (unless the user pays for a static address) or NAT, it’s not accurate at all.

Maybe, it's a mobile IP so I'm pretty sure it changes regularly. I know I can force it to change by turning airplane mode on and off. I've avoided IP bans this way.
