Torrenting on Tor actually hurts the network. Compare that to I2P where it makes the network better. I2P is designed with torrenting in mind.
Got a source for that? Torrenting "hurts" tor 'cos it uses up bandwidth that could be used for useful stuff like comms from journalists, dissidents, etc.
But IIRC tor was designed with clearnet in mind whereas I2P is "self-centered".
Do you mean accessing I2P implies using an I2IP router to begin with?
It not only hurts tor because it usage up bandwith but in other ways as well. Torrenting makes many peer to peer connections which hurts tor in multiple ways. I suggest reading the docs of tor to better understand how and why this is.
I dont understand your question about I2P. You need some form of I2P router to use I2P in anyway.
