How researchers could spy on Bittorrents for long periods..

Hi malware fighters,

When you are in France your bittorrtent habits can be tracked: http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/47/03/24/PDF/bt_privacy_LEET10.pdf
IP addresses were monitored and everything that was downloaded and uploaded could be logged for any particular IP.
148 million IP addresses and over 2 million downloads were being identified during more than one hundred days. So Big Brother could be watching you from France now,
