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?
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.
I agree. I leaked my ip because of shitty software in the past
BiglyBT let’s you so that
I think biglybt already does this?
Thanks I will look into that. I’m not sure yet if that’s exactly what I want, I don’t only want the client to support downloading from multiple networks, I also want the client to provide the torrent on all available networks, working as a bridge between them
The qBittorrent 4.6.0 alpha/beta adds support for i2p torrents. There is also a checkbox to enable “Mixed Mode” where the torrent will download through i2p and the clearnet at the same time. Sounds similar to what you are describing.
Something that’s missing from i2p is emule or similar. We had muwire but that got discontinued.
If you’re up for it.
