No, after you register, your IP mostly doesn’t matter, with the exception that whatever IP you’re using to download the torrent, needs to be the one that downloads the torrent file. Obviously, there is a way to configure a separate session that’s allowed to download, for the people who use seed boxes.
so if you dont have a seedbox and get thru registration and are downloading/seeding on vpn server A and server goes down, can you switch to vpn server B or that fucks everything up?
really wish torrent had a concept of identity using gpg or private keys so that all this pedantic ip address crap wasn't necessary. would probably have joined private trackers ages ago if it had something liek that
If you have your session set to be a static IP, then it will stop the torrent. If you're using a VPN, you tell MAM that, so the IP connected to that session would be able to update.
