# BitTorrent IP: every address a BitTorrent client runs on

BitTorrent IP lists every IPv4 and IPv6 address where a BitTorrent client was seen in 90 days, with its port counts, client codes and a verified flag.

[BitTorrent IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/bittorrent-ip) is out, under Services: every IPv4 and IPv6 address where a BitTorrent client was seen in the last 90 days, a row per address, rebuilt daily. A row says when clients were seen there, how many shared the address at once and which client software they identify as. It never says what an address shared or downloaded.

## One address per row

Five rows from the sample, as the first build had them, on October 20:

| Address | Verified | Last reachable | Ports | Peak ports | Indexer | Clients |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `185.159.157.76` | true | 2026-10-20 | 38 | 38 | false | `LT` |
| `5.181.233.122` | false | | 11 | 11 | false | |
| `2602:fdb8:131:c001::7:1` | true | 2026-10-20 | 30 | 30 | false | `LT` |
| `148.113.176.70` | true | 2026-10-20 | 1 | 1 | false | `LT` |
| `147.135.11.133` | true | | 278 | 278 | true | |

`verified` is true where a client at the address answered directly, or two or more other clients reported it at the same time, and `last_reachable` is the last day one answered directly. An address only one client reported stays in the file with `verified` false, and most of those are clients behind NAT, which can't be reached from outside. `5.181.233.122`, a FastestVPN exit, was one on October 20 and has been verified since.

Ports is `num_ports`, the ports clients used at the address in the window, and Peak ports is `peak_num_ports`, the most on one day: about how many clients shared the address at once. 38 shared `185.159.157.76`, a Proton VPN exit, and one ran on `148.113.176.70`. `indexer` marks an address that indexes the BitTorrent network rather than downloading from it, as `147.135.11.133` does. `clients` holds the codes clients identify themselves by: `LT` is libtorrent, which qBittorrent and Deluge run on, and `UT` is µTorrent. `first_seen`, `last_seen` and `days_seen` give the first and last day a client was seen there, and on how many days.

## In the October 27 build

The October 27 build holds 23,253,076 addresses, 12,732,527 IPv4 and 10,520,549 IPv6, and 54.0% of them are verified. Its first day is October 20, so the 90-day window holds eight days so far. 72.0% of the addresses were seen on one day only: 86.3% of the IPv6 ones and 60.2% of IPv4.

A client answered directly at 8,186,099 addresses. 73.7% of them run libtorrent and 14.3% µTorrent, and 4.8% send no code.

The IPv4 addresses by country, from [IP Country](https://internetdata.io/databases/ip-country):

| Country | IPv4 addresses |
|---|---|
| China | 2,405,411 (18.9%) |
| Russia | 2,210,936 (17.4%) |
| India | 799,933 (6.3%) |
| Brazil | 595,472 (4.7%) |
| United States | 472,008 (3.7%) |
| South Korea | 436,197 (3.4%) |

## Shared addresses and VPN exits

90.4% of the addresses never had more than one port on a day. 442,226 had three or more on one day, as a VPN exit, a proxy or a carrier's NAT does, and 36.5% of the IPv4 ones are in Russia.

383,740 of the IPv4 addresses, 3.0%, are in [VPN IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/vpn-ip)'s ranges, and 43.2% of those are verified, against 51.5% of all IPv4. The share depends on the VPN:

| VPN | BitTorrent addresses verified |
|---|---|
| NordVPN | 7.5% |
| CyberGhost | 26.2% |
| ExpressVPN | 38.0% |
| Mullvad | 41.1% |
| Surfshark | 65.4% |
| Private Internet Access | 66.7% |
| Proton VPN | 83.9% |

A filter on `verified` would drop 92.5% of the BitTorrent addresses in NordVPN's ranges, so every row ships, with the flag beside it.
