If one of the computers in the swarm is a police computer it is saving these IP addresses. That the other computers they are connected to are downloading the exact same file as them, so they know, for example, it's a Harry Potter movie and second, they know the IP address of these other computers that are downloading Harry Potter in their swarm. So everyone in the swarm knows two things. Getting pieces from one another and sharing these pieces with everyone else in your swarm who doesn't already have the piece. In turn those computers are asking you if you have the missing pieces they want.You and these other computers are part of a swarm. In peer networks, you connect to a bunch of computers asking each to give you missing file pieces. But it cannot hide the IP address of the server that you have the tunnel to which is the VPN provider's computer and the VPN provider knows who you are and will have to tell under a court order. Yes, the thing a VPN does is encrypt data for privacy and also provides reliability meaning that any attempt to alter any data will be recognized. For the gaijin community this is a topic that needs serious discussion. There have to be at least a million people in this country using P2P illegally so either these 30 people did something that attracted a lot of attention (more than just downloading the latest HBO thing for himself) or were really unlucky. What I went to know is to what extent were these people arrested sharing? Did they have a huge about of stuff available? Latest stuff? Does it make a difference if you get something quickly by BitTorrent and take it off the shared space right after it is finished downloading? If you have a latest movie on your hard drive like TIN TIN that would probably attract more attention than a movie made twenty years ago like Goodfellas. The provider detected it and sent an email about it to take it off. Personally I know a person who knows a person a few years back who had the latest Spiderman movie in his shared space for P2P. OK, just about every gaijin is downloading some HBO or Showtime drama so need to pay attention to this. The just didn't give me coffee, oh well!! I was actually called into the police station since I witnessed a crime and they are they were real gentlemen.
