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?
What kind of speeds are you seeing per torrent and global with a few torrents running? I didn't try torrenting on I2p yet but even with my node on 24/7 even browsing was hella slow ( i was port forwarded too)
Typically around 500kBps I'd say. I've seen speeds in the MBps too, but that's rare.
That's quite slow then. I can torrent an entire movie within two minutes or so.
Edit: Getting 12+ MiB/s with a popular movie from 2006.
Yeah that is really slow and they didn't say if it was global or a single torrent. 500kbs is slow for one torrent but if 500kbs is all the torrents combined then that is extremely slow
A single one. Anonymity makes it slower for sure. Can't tell you the global max, because I don't know. If you trust your vpn to not log stuff or to sell you out, then that will always be faster.
Speed is not a problem for me, but everyone's different.
How's availability? What are you able to find, and do you find it the same way as usual, or is that separate as well?
I usually find what I need, but if I don't then that's not a big deal.
Yeah that's fair, I wonder how much faster it'll get if I2P gets a ton more nodes and more people seeding torrents
