Comment Re:Nobody does proxies like that anymore (Score 1) 447

Seeing how I've logged web traffic from an AOL user recently, AOL STILL does this today. Try browsing in AOL's browser inside the AOL program and you will see the person's IP change across class A subnets between web requests, but if you browse using a browser that is loaded outside of the AOL program, the IP stays the same across web requests. The person I was replying to was suggesting that they lock the IP's that the tracker allows to an account that people logged in to via the tracker's web site, which I said wouldn't work if people's web browser connections are proxied like AOL does in its in-AOL browser. The tracker would end up seeing an IP that doesn't match any IP that it allowed when that user then loads up their bittorrent client and tries to start that torrent and never get it to start downloading at all.
