Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our data collection methodology, legal compliance, and technical standards.
What do you do?
We specialize in the systematic monitoring of the global P2P ecosystem. Our platform aggregates and analyzes real-time signals from BitTorrent network infrastructure to provide deep insights into traffic trends, peer behavior, and torrent network.
Is this platform legal?
Yes. Torrent Analytics strictly processes publicly available network metadata. We do not provide tools or information for downloading copyrighted content, and we do not process Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in full accordance with GDPR standards. IP address geolocation data is sourced from IPinfo.
What is a Torrent Prefix?
A torrent prefix consists of the first 8 bytes (16 hexadecimal characters) of a torrent's unique SHA-1 infohash. This allows us to uniquely identify specific content for analytical purposes without exposing the full hash required to initiate a download via magnet links.
Where are you located?
Our core team and technical infrastructure are based in Poland. However, our monitoring reach is global, serving law enforcement agencies, copyright holders, and government institutions across all continents.
Do you handle non-standard queries?
Yes. We offer custom data extraction, specific regional monitoring, and historical deep-dives for verified partners.
