I don't since I live in a third world country. Can seed at 1Gbps with no warnings whatsoever, 20€ monthly
I that case, why not help spread a little freedom in the rest of the world by hosting an I2P node?
We should make torrenting over I2P the default.
Any dissidents in places like China who are caught using it could then plausibly claim they were just downloading a movie.
isnt hosting a node a very easy way to get the police knocking on your door? i dont want csam flowing through my network
If this was the first time the world heard of onion routing, then yes.
Now they can realize that you're probably just one step in the chain. And with i2p there's no way to know if they even reached the end of the chain (provided you host i2p for long enough).
All traffic over I2P is encrypted unless you use an outproxy (which isn't as common as a Tor exit node is), so no. Most, if not all I2P torrenting traffic never touches an outproxy, just like Tor hidden services (.onion sites and whatnot) never touch an exit node.
Hosting a Tor relay is fine even, as you are still just passing encrypted data around. It's running an exit node that can get you into some sketchy waters with your ISP/law enforcement.
I seed around 5Tb monthly but that sounds interesting
You use a VPN, right?
They don't need one. No enforceable copyright law.
