<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>i don't think thats quite true, you can tell what country the IP address belongs to but not much beyond that. Your IP Address is detirmined by what ISP you are using. say you are with TPG, they own a range of IP addresses they can lease out to customers (that can be a static or dynamic depending on the contract) and every other ISP will have different ones so it will change depending on who you are with.

the only way you would know the exact address is the ISp having your address on record when you sign up and use their internet.

often though you can get a general idea as to what the destination is by tracing what routes the signal has to make in order to get to its destination...

torrents are safe as they do jumble up the data as they are from different sources but rememeber you still have to download the torrent file initially, and this is just one file from one website.

but could you immagine the amount of administrative overhead it would take to sit down and monitor everyones internet activity? too much, so you are pretty much safe as far as ISPs tracing your behaviour.
