    Make sure your downloads aren’t leaking.

      This is terrifying. Is the only way to block this information to use a VPN?

        Yeah, use a VPN and make sure it and your network settings are configured properly. I’m running my stuff in a docker image that’s already preconfigured to prevent IP leakage with VPN support.

      It tells me I’ve downloaded a bunch of stuff i haven’t, and none of the stuff I have.

        Your public ISP IP isn’t typically static unless you pay for a static address. So guess you know what the last guy was doing.

          Should I be concerned if they are recent downloads? I dunno much about this but some are as recent as half a day ago.

            Not sure. Do you share your network with people?

      I only download Linux distributions over a anonymised VPN that exits in Switzerland, falling back to Spain when the Switzerland VPN is not available.
