| For about the last month, while I'm seeding my torrents, I've been noticing a mysterious ip address from asian.net.th (Thailand) randomly popping up (appears) on my BitTorrent client . It pops up on different torrents randomly. It is stuck at 99% and never changes. It shows nothing uploaded or downloaded. It appears for a minute or two then it's gone. Then it'll appear on a different torrent on a different day. I've seen it several times. I always run Peer Block with p2p & commie lists. And of course a VPN. Does anyone have any ideas who or what this is? Or what's causing it? Very perplexing B) Last edited by vtwin88cube on 2019-04-10 18:06:58 | |

| According to Whois, ****** is a fixed IP address for a corporate customer of True Internet Bangkok Thailand. It appeared again yesterday several times while I was seeding my Depeche Mode Star Mark Greatest Hits torrent. It seems to only appear during the initial seeding process of my uploads. Always stuck at 99% not uploading or downloading. But shows it has uploaded 176 kb's. I'm most curious about how this is occurring and why. I have a screen shot that I'll post when I can find a photo host. *edit* Censored IP info | |

| Great recommendation... **************** Also, according to https://matrix.spfbl.net/en/****** the IP has been blacklisted for the following reason: "This IP was flagged due to misconfiguration of the e-mail service or the suspicion that there is no MTA at it." Here's the screen shot of it on my utorrent... ******************** I'm starting to think it's a copyright troll. I've seen it too many times on different torrents during the initial seeding process of my uploads. What do you think? Cheers! *edit* Censored IP info. | |

| I think it's someone that just likes all your files and all the hard work you put into it. I know CDs are quite expensive there and just want good FLAC files I will keep a lookout thanks for the heads up.... | |

| I hope it's not the Prime Minister of Thailand downloading my torrents. I don't know if I can handle another mention on TorrentFreak 😠| |

| I don't know about the prime minister it could be the King because he's a bit of a Jack the Lad and that's being polite.... :-) | |

| Just a follow up...I stopped using that bit-torrent client all together. It was as if it was haunted. Too weird. You wanted back alley stuff, you got it! Cheers! 88 | |

| So, here is yet another exciting update to the mysterious ghost peer from Thailand... As I said in my previous post - I quit using the bit-torrent client on my PC. I got tired of seeing the mysterious ghost peer from Thailand on my torrents. Instead I've been using a mobile client with a ip filter and a separate vpn client. Everything was fine for the past few months, until yesterday - when it appeared again. As usual it was perpetually stuck at 99.9% (that's what makes it stand out in a swarm). I still think it's a copyright troll. What else could it be? Cheers :) 88 | |

| Funny that you say that, I noticed just the other day that someone was stuck on 99.9% while everyone else in the swarm was getting to 100% on a torrent I was helping seed with... hmmmmm!! | |
