Just a PSA that I2P exists if you want to try out anonymous torrenting. Head over to I2P for questions on how to set it up.

I won’t answer questions that could get me into legal trouble, but I’d be happy to help with more generic I2P things.

    Unfortunately the elephant in the room with I2P for torrenting is speed, given its routing nature. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve seen it discussed in the past and how people were complaining about dial-up speeds. In your experience, what have your speeds been like? What’s your average download speed? I’m guessing lower than 100kbps?

    If it’s that slow, do you think it’s a problem of not enough peers… or of the routing protocol that needs to happen for privacy?

      Speed is an issue. That’s the trade-off you do for security. However the speeds have improved over the last couple of releases, but no where near what you get from “normal” torrenting.

      Can’t say what my average speed is because I don’t know, but I believe it’s higher.

      Just to update you on the speed issue. I’m trying out a small swarm legal download at the moment, less than 10 peers and I’m at +300kBps, which admittedly is shit compared to what you can get from normal torrents. I have seen download speeds in the MBps, but that’s rare.

      I’d guess normal speeds are 1 - 500kBps.

        It’s worth pointing out that depending on the type of content you’re downloading +300kBps is pretty darn good. For ebooks, audiobooks, songs, and some isos those speeds are plenty. It’d be pretty interesting if a niche around those kind of contents developed for I2P torrenting.
