Why do isp's track torrents but not mp4 downloads from pirated streaming sites?
>>
>>108748745
because torrents are peer to peer technology and you're sharing the pirated media, which is a more severe crime punishable by law. the mere act of downloading isn't that bad or illegal.
>>
>>108748759
So is having a movie up on your website the equivalent of showing an mp4 you ripped from a library cd to your family?

>>108748745
What makes you think they don't?

Torrenting is antisemitic, and antisemitism is illegal.

only jewcucked western ISPs do that

>>108748745
isps don't track your torrent traffic specifically (though they do keep your browsing history and probably some other metrics for some amount of time)
third party copyright agencies (hired by the creators of the content you're torrenting) are the ones who sit in the swarm, record ips, and then send notices to your isp about your ip being involved in the swarm
you solve this with a vpn, seedbox, private trackers, usenet, ddl, or any combination of the preceding options

torrents are unencrypted and visible to anyone
cf iknowwhatyoudownload dot com
streams are encrypted and content is invisible
isp has no way of knowing what is being streamed

Why Direct MP4 Downloads/Streams Are Harder to Track

Encryption (HTTPS/TLS): Most modern direct download or streaming sites use HTTPS. Your ISP sees the destination domain/IP and data volume, but not the content, filenames, or exact files (the MP4 payload is encrypted). They can't easily tell it's a pirated movie vs. a legitimate download.
No public peer list: It's a simple client-server download. Only the hosting site knows your IP (and they often don't log long-term, are offshore, or ignore takedown requests). No swarm of random users can see and report you.
No proactive monitoring incentive: Copyright holders would need to monitor thousands of direct download hosts, scrape logs, or serve the files themselves—much more expensive and less scalable than torrent swarms. ISPs aren't motivated to deep-dive every large download unless legally compelled.
ISP perspective: They care more about bandwidth usage or obvious P2P patterns than individual HTTPS downloads. Direct links don't trigger the same automated alerts.
