I found I2P much better than Tor network, and now it supports BitTorrent protocol too https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent .
Why haven’t the pirates migrated to I2P? Why are we still using clearnet and making people backout of seeding cause of DMCA?
You must log in or # to comment.
Because it’s slower than using VPN + clearnet?
Do be honest I don’t care about speed when it’s free. I just start the download and enjoy it a few days later
The selection of torrents on i2p is also a lot smaller than on the clearweb.
I might work on this later. I’m a developer specialized in p2p technologies. I’m currently working on a decentralized search engine for ipfs but after that I would like to build a torrent client that supports clearnet and i2p at the same time, and also supports decentralized search of torrents
As a user: There needs to be absolute certainty that clearnet is disabled when I want it to and no way to leak the IP. Kinda like how i know setting mullvad as the internet adapter should mean client traffic only ever goes over that connection.
That requires that you trust your vpn.
As opposed to trusting I2P?
You don’t have to. You can audit the code yourself and build it from scratch. Most won’t. But you can.
Only works if you code. For the 99% of us that don’t, open source means little in that regard.
True, but you can. For vpn you have to trust them. There is no other choice.
If you can’t read code yourself you can pay a number of companies some money to do the audit for you. Or you can learn to code.
You can’t learn to know how the vpn logs data.
But I get you. Most of us just put our trust in another entity.
