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 been doing it for 20 years and have never been caught. I’ve never even heard of i2p until here just a couple of weeks ago. The fact that certain people are pushing it so hard and referring to standard methods in such a derogatory way makes me highly skeptical of trying it out.

        Just because you haven’t been caught doesn’t mean https is suddenly a private way to pirate. It’s really not that complicated.

          And just because there is some new method available doesn’t mean you’re retaining your privacy there either. I have a VPN to hide my IP and as far as I’m concerned that’s enough ‘privacy’ to avoid any issues.

          What’s the worst that’ll happen, my ISP sends me a letter telling me to knock it off? You’re acting like this is some sort of top secret black ops mission in need of complete secrecy.

      It’s not even prosecuted where I live. So I couldn’t care less if it’s clearnet or whether my IP address is public.

        That’s my point, that’s significantly more effort then just implementing i2p. You shouldn’t have to worry about that because we should be using better protocols. It’s the protocol’s fault here, and VPNs are band-aid solutions.

            It’s literally a toggle in the BitTorrent client, which hopefully will eventually default on

              You can also easily add a official extension to BiglyBT for I2P support and seed clearnet torrents you’ve downloaded already over I2P as well

            BiglyBT handles all of the I2P router itself if you don’t have a existing install, you can point it to an existing I2P install if you have one that’s running 24/7 so is well integrated which is what I do
