If you're torrenting, you should be aware that a cross-reference between your IP and the files you're transferring is effectively public information.

Trackers will share your IP with anyone who is trying to download the same file. This is more or less require in order for the protocol to work.
People/organizations run bots that pretend to be interested in popular downloads so that they can collect these IPs.
