Most people know that BitTorrent is not anonymous.
Some developers at below mentioned site have exploited this characteristic to show us a conviniently ignored fact.
They are putting up all your recent downloads on a public website for the world to see. Scary? you bet !!!

The site is Youhavedownloaded.com

The developers of the site want to make people aware of the public nature of BitTorrent, and are currently working on a more anonymous version of the leading file-sharing technology.

People who visit the site immediately see their download history, as far as it’s available in the site’s database. In addition, they can also search for files or IP-addresses to find out who’s downloading what.
Currently, the database has information on 51,274,000 users who together shared 103,200 torrents.

For those who have dynamic IP-addresses the service is obviously going to show content that someone else has downloaded.
But home users, Beware… they know what you have been downloading all this while !!!
