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.

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

There’s also a guide on how to use I2P together with BiglyBT for example

      Nope, and it’s awesome. I2P works similarly to tor except instead of being discouraged, there’s a torrent client built in. Only down side is as it’s an entirely P2P network with alot of hops (more than tor) it’s quite slow.

        Can we use a classic torrent client such as transmission instead of the built in client? What about the Soulseek network over IP2 with an open-source client such as Nicotine? Thank you.

      It’s slow. Fundamentally to send a packet of data to someone you need to know where to send it.

      So there are two options:

      • Maintain a trust network for allowed peers who you can guarantee won’t snitch - like private trackers, and then use direct connections freely
      • Send it via intermediaries who don’t give a shit about being exposed (e.g. VPN services, or i2p out proxies)

      But with the intermediaries approach your speed will always be bottlenecked by the slowest of the intermediaries.

      No, it works well but the downside as mentioned below is speed. I’ve seen speeds in the MBit range, but that’s very rare. Usually around 300-500 kBits for me.

      Perhaps BiglyBT is faster? I don’t know. I only use the one built in.
