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?

    Probably mostly cause:

    • Slow speed unless you you keep your router 24/7
    • People are used to download torrents fast
    • Clearnet has much bigger torrent database

      • if you configure your node correctly, you won’t see much difference in bandwidth.
      • i2psnark can be fast.
      • but clearnet comes with an issue of tracking.

        I think your response answers the question.

        If configured correctly. Can be fast. IMO, once those statements are less conditional and prone to error, we might see the pro of privacy carry more weight.

          People don’t understand sometimes how much of a tech-ethusiast bubble we got going on here
