client_test tracking by Amazon

Recommended Posts

I've noticed "client_test/0.16.15.0" appearing as a "client" on some of my seeds. It does not download anything, but hangs out for hours, so I did a lookup on the IP addresses, which vary a bit. All come back the same.

 

Registrant Name: Legal Department
Registrant Organization: Amazon.com, Inc.
Registrant Street: PO BOX 81226
Registrant City: Seattle
Registrant State/Province: WA

 

I'm the sole seeder of some of these old media files. I'm surprised they even care.

Does this mean Amazon loves me, or what ?

Should I expect chocolates or a SWAT team ?

:(

Just for the information, if you are not using any ip blocking software or a list, qBittorrent allows one to ban a particular IP from it.

I use uTorrent.

I could block the whole IP range with my firewall, but since the IP varies so much I'd have to block 54.192.0.0/10, which would block roughly 4 million IPs.

Examples of rogue IPs = 54.149.138.13, 54.201.177.181, 54.245.70.220

I'll have to hope it's chocolates.

Then I suggest you use a software or a list.

 

All depends, are you sharing their legally owned content, if not, then no issues, but only from them.
