Thanks to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/ober found that ipleak.net can be used to check if you VPN is leaking your IP before proceeding with torrenting.
And also using Qbittorrent to tie the client to the VPN by going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced and changing network interface to your VPN.
Somewhat related, you can use iknowwhatyoudownload.com to check and see if your IP address was part of a torrent download recently
This is great, thank you.
That is pretty cool. I just checked it from my cellular connection. Obviously it’s not stuff that I downloaded, it’s still cool to see.
Nothing for me. Not sure how historical their data is but I've been using a VPN (exclusively) for about a year and a half and about 6 months ago switched to a seedbox.
I’m excited to check this out when I get home. I wonder what will show up. Hopefully nothing haha. But we often have guests that stay for a week at a time. My building may also put me behind a cgnat.

That's because you are not the only one who is using that ip address, generally you share it with other people. But if you download something, you'll definitely see that downloaded thing among others.
I used ipleak when setting up my seedbox, super cool resource
I wish that sabnzbd had the same feature where you can force it to only function over the vpn interface. Such a nice feature to have.
I get a big red exclamation point and "The address 140...** is not in the database" Is this a sign that I have NordVPN set up correctly or not? Thanks for mentioning ipleak.net!
