- It doesn’t make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn’t designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you’re going to leak your actual IP address.
- Tor is a TCP only network.
- While this doesn’t give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.
Indeed.
Torrenting over I2P is the future. No need for VPN and no dependency on donated bandwidth like with Tor.
The technology needs a bit of refinement and it seems they are struggling to attract and maintain good developers.
In my opinion, the fundamental protocols of I2P need a revamp to make torrenting faster and more efficient.
It will take a few years before we solve these problems.
I2P is still around? I remember experimenting with it a decade ago. Sounds like it’s still a slow experience.
It’s not super fast but it’s more then usable, you just need to get lucky with fast routers in your tunnels
