I've just downloaded my first torrent. I dunno what I've got. It's a whole list of little files, z00,z01,z02 and so on.

If one computer wants to find out the identity of others sending or taking content from it then it can, and that appears to be happening on the new website. Similar tools are already used by the companies that own films, music and TV shows that are being torrented. There have regularly been reports of those companies pursuing people who have downloaded their content either for costs or to force them to stop using torrenting services, likely using the same tools.

In all cases, the downloads are only tied to IP addresses and not to specific people. That means that the site and services like it will only show whether someone has been on your internet connection, and not necessarily which computer did it or even that the computer was in a person's house.
