  • Torrenting over TOR. Fantastic idea. You clearly know what you're talking about.

    Use cases are important.

    • Wanna torrent anonymously and don't wanna pay for a VPN? Get into I2P

      • If you want to download at dial-up speeds for most of your stuff.

        • It's still new so that's expected, as more and more people start using it, the speeds will get better automatically.

          There's also private trackers, you won't need a VPN if you get your torrents from them.

          • Does I2P utilize nodes or something that can be hosted? I’m lucky enough to live in a location with symmetrical gigabit internet, so even if I don’t use it myself I could at least donate some bandwidth. Could run next to my TOR relay.

            Private trackers are a very handy option. I’ve found their rules can often get restrictive. Although it makes sense - gotta protect the swarm.
