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?
i’ve messed around with i2p, it requires much more technical knowledge than just torrenting and there’s a bit of a learning curve to navigating and configuring it. plus it honestly hasn’t changed much in years, and i’m not sure how much i trust the developers working on it. i do agree that it’s better than tor though
Tor was really struggling and I wasn’t looking forward to learning how to use something else safely. I2P was such a massively huge improvement at least for my use case.
Agreed. Even getting support over an issue (initially) was troublesome. But somehow I ended up solving it through other channels. But just like torrenting, or any other tech, once you get enough experience to solve issues on your own, things get a bit easy.
A tech being easy to grasp can be an issue too, leading to more script kitties messing in with the protocol.
Can you trust Tor or VPN? Tor was developed with the help of US intelligence to help build a anonymous network.
Read all of the source and research who hosts the relays to determine their trustworthiness. Decide for yourself
Maybe it’s more complicated (I don’t know), but couldn’t a bittorrent client hide all that complexity?
