That’s just the nature of peer-to-peer file sharing. When you download a torrent from a large site your client broadcasts your IP to any of the available seeders. Seeders are just anyone who downloaded the torrent before you, and you generally download from many seeders for one torrent.
Using a VPN or seedbox masks your IP. The actual torrent itself isn’t “traceable” unless you continue to seed after its compleled downloading.

There’s zero evidence God is real. Might as well say “we can’t say with 100% certainty Harry Potter isn’t real. In the story the wizards all hide from muggles.”
