The question maybe stated incorrectly, but however many and MOST TIMES, the IP address of the downloader is logged in their server, mainly for statistics and optimization uses. Sites will not trace you, but if anyone was able to obtain their log files (if they kept one) then the person who obtained it would be able to track you down.

How are people caught downloading off LimeWire?

When you click on a file you want, your ip address is exposed, so if it turns out that a record company is just seeing who will download their stuff, you can be traced. Once a record company, or another agency, gets your ip address from the p2p program, they can fine you for illegally downloading something that is copyrighted, in some cases you can go to jail.


When downloading films or music are they traced back to you?

Yes, if anyone is interested enough to do it. Just like CallerID, your computer tells every other computer it talks to who and where your computer is. If someone cares to record who is getting what file then the rest is simple.


How do they find out you are downloading music?

Your server has incoming and outgoing cookies which are traced through an open port in your server. This automatically generates IP addresses that can then be acquired by people or organizations looking for illegal downloads. Downloading a song (or any type of media illegally), provides those who may want to catch you in the act, with a ready made fingerprint that leads directly back to you.
