    Key Capabilities

    Advanced Content Matching

    Our proprietary matching technology identifies copyrighted content with high accuracy, even when compressed, re-encoded, or modified. Covers audio, video, software, documents, and other file types. Matches against your registered catalogue to verify infringement with forensic precision.

    P2P Network Monitoring

    Continuously monitors the BitTorrent network across public trackers, torrent site indexes, and DHT swarms. Tracks file-sharing activity, identifies repeat infringers, and maps distribution patterns to understand infringement scale and trends.

    Infringement Reporting

    Generate and deliver evidence-based reports containing IP addresses, timestamps, and content identification. Monitoring is configured for specific networks (by ASN, CIDR, or netname), and reports are delivered in ACNS and XARF formats on your schedule and to your destination.

    Rights Holder Intelligence

    Provide rights holders with actionable intelligence on infringement patterns, hotspots, and repeat offenders. Dashboard analytics enable data-driven enforcement strategies and measure the effectiveness of anti-piracy campaigns over time.

    How It Works

    1

    Discover & Verify

    TorrentWatch searches torrent site indexes and feeds for your catalogue keywords. When a potential match is found, we download a sample, match it, and confirm it genuinely contains your protected content before any further action is taken.

    2

    Identify Active Infringers

    Verified torrents are scanned for active peers. Where a peer is on a network you are monitoring, TorrentWatch connects to confirm the content is being actively distributed from that IP address, providing reliable peer-level evidence.

    3

    Deliver Structured Reports

    Confirmed infringements are compiled into structured reports. You control the delivery frequency, format (ACNS, XARF, or our own enriched format), transport method (S3, FTP, SFTP, or email), and destination.
