I heard tor does not work well with torrents, but i2p supports them well. Anyone got experience with that? Apparently xd and i2psnark are decent clients for this, but no idea where to get trackers?
>I heard tor does not work well with torrents, but i2p supports them well. Anyone got experience with that? i2p is slow by nature and not very popular meaning there are not many seeders so torrenting over i2p is slow as fuck>where to get trackers?the only tracker i know of for i2p is postman, if you are using the default install from geti2p there should be a link buried somewhere on your home dashboard and i think the rss is subscribed to mailman releases by default so that could be another way to get the link, also i2psnark (bundled by default with i2p) is setup to add it as a tracker automatically, you can get the announce url from there>xd and i2psnarkif you are trying to use a torrent client other than the i2psnark bundled with i2p i recommend reading this: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/filesharing/ it's technically the documentation for i2pd, a different implementation of i2p but a lot of it still applies to the "official" one and presents different client alternatives, personally i have only tried the default i2psnark so i can't really talk about the other clients
>>1303348I@P is like using a USB stick but modifying it to use an ethernet port.
>>1303348Torrent Clients that support i2p apart from xd and i2psnark are Vuze, BiglyBT and qbitorrent so far. An opentracker for i2p is the following http://w7tpbzncbcocrqtwwm3nezhnnsw4ozadvi2hmvzdhrqzfxfum7wa.b32.i2p/aYou can still go trackerless though through i2p DHT.
>>1303409Then what would you suggest for sharing files online with total anonymity?
>>1303634library wifi
>>1303634i2p is terrible for general torrenting but if your main goal is anonymity it's perfectly fine, you can also increase the number of jumps for more security, just expect very low speedsalso if your goal is to share something with a limited number of people you can use something other than torrent+i2p like onionshare (tor network) or maybe session (lokinet) bearing in mind that as far as i know neither of those have swarm capabilities so the only source would be you
to be fair i2p seems kind of empty compared to tor. kind of sad.
wtf is i2p anyway? i tried to use it once but there wasn't even an address bar in the "i2p browser" or whatever i was using and i couldn't find a way to enable it, how are you supposed to browse websites on i2p without an address bar?

I uploaded 50 GB in 38 hours seeding on i2p.

>>1303348I think one of the biggest parts of I2P network traffic and communities stems from BitTorrent. It's pretty active, you can get a lot of movies, especially a lot of German ones you wouldn't get on clearnet BT. Postman also has the ability to post wishes so even if you cannot torrent from the clearnet yourself, it's likely some kind stranger will download something and mirror it to I2P. Just beware that DL speeds are pretty slow, ranging from few kbyte/s to one mbyte/s at most, if a lot of people are seeding to you. It's best to run it 24/7 on some machine you don't use or that has low power consumption, like a RPi.I2P is really great.

>>1304830What kind of videos are you seeding, anon?

I2P network is fast enough, but doesn't have enough people torrenting to get reliable speeds. Default I2P router settings are absurdly low (like 128kb ram and 48kB/s bandwidth limit) so swarms are full of shitty capped seeders who never changed their settings.
>>1307908>closed sorce>basednice try agent tyrone
please don't bog down the tor or I2P network by torrenting over it just buy a vpn don't be a poor indian
>>1320204The only useful use case of I2p is torrenting.What else can you find on i2p that cannot be found on the web?And unlike Tor, people contribute to the network by default. So even if somebody torrents they may still be helping the network overall.
Both Tor and I2P (and its alternative implementations like I2Pd) are trash at utilizing the resources given. If you host a tor relay it will only user something like 1.4 MB/s tops even though I rent a vps woth gigabit connection. I2P will only use ~700 KB/sec (on unlimited bandwidth setting). If you enable floodgate it will crash the router/nic cpu before getting above 2 MB/sec.Agree, there is nothing on I2P apart from tor mirror homepages.

Am I missing something? I only ever get this message when I try to look at postman
>>1327051How did you set up the http proxy on the browser?
>>1336343I use this proxy.pac for auto config:function FindProxyForURL(url, host){ if(host.match(/^(localhost|127[.]0[.]0[.]1|192[.]168[.]1[.]1)$/)) return 'DIRECT'; if(host.match(/[.]i2p$/)) return 'PROXY 127.0.0.1:4444';}I don't exactly remember where I got it from. I tried deleting the whitespace line at the end just now and it doesn't seem to have impacted anything.
>>1336691I feel like I've seen that message before, maybe it's using something else instead of HTTP?I tried to find some of the keywords in your function but couldn't . It seems to work though.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_PAC_fileYou could also try this;function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {var i2proxy='127.0.0.1:4444';if (shExpMatch(host,"*.i2p")) { return "PROXY "+i2proxy;}return "DIRECT";}http://tracker2.postman.i2phttp://reg.i2p
>>1336769Yeah, that .pac didn't change anything, but just on a lark I disabled uBlock origin and now the tracker works, weird that. I do have like every list enabled so I guess one of the less popular ones causes the issue?
