Knowing the name of seeding torrent files on your network.

So my uni has free wifi as many others do and just like every other corporation is against torrenting. But when they catch someone torrenting, they are able to display the file name that is being downloaded even if the .to file wasn't downloaded to that computer or even started. The minute a user turns off a vpn, they are greeted with a screen telling them which files they are torrenting. Can anyone give an explanation of this or point me in the right direction? I no longer torrent often, but am more concerned about privacy.
