Reseed requests on new torrents

I have noticed a number of cross seed torrents that quickly get a reseed request on Postman.

I consider it to be likely that these are deanonymization attempts. Even if isn't that intentionally, it would not surprise me at all if someone else is using it for that purpose.

If you value your privacy, you may want to at least stay away from seeding to both i2p and clearnet at the same time. Especially if you only have it partially downloaded.
