Another question would be how to make a seedbox service use I2P. I have seem some but none of those didn't mention I2P as a feature
Yes, that's a bit of a problem on the average seedbox. You'd have to modify your torrent to seed on I2P by adding I2P trackers (just a couple of them, nothing much), and then run either BiglyBT or I2PSnark to seed them on I2P. Unfortunately, most seedboxes don't give you root access, neither do they bundle these apps. Qbittorrent doesn't have good support for it yet unfortunately.
If you have an SBC/spare computer at home, would be great if you could attach a hard drive to it, install i2p/i2pd and either of the mentioned torrent clients, and seed from there in the meantime. Qbittorrent has seen community interest in I2P, unfortunately it's just not there yet
I have lots of questions. I’ve always heard to use a VPN that doesn’t keep logs, this is the first I’ve heard of i2p. If I add i2p trackers that implies I still have non-i2p trackers so can still be identified. I feel like I need way more information on how to do this safely before I change anything.
Obviously, this doesn't change anything if you're still seeding to the clearnet. All this would do is cross-seed your torrents to the I2P network. I assume you have a suitable torrenting strategy already for the clearnet. If some day you were to abandon the clearnet for I2P, you would no longer need to take the precautions you do now because I2P is inherently private.
Please skim through the documentation for a high-level overview on I2P, and ask here if you don't understand something
yes! Please seed more on i2p!
100% right this is the way of helping the piracy
I haven't used I2P since high school or maybe earlier if it existed then. Was it one of those faster the more people are using it things? I was skimming over setting up the docker container thinking even if I don't use it myself it might help others (and I have unlimited data on the isp plan) but I haven't gotten around to actually setting it up.
Yes, because it's P2P, every node acts as a router and thus distributes bandwidth to prevent congestion
Isn't it difficult to setup?
It's very easy to set up. Windows now has a slick installer.
remember kids do what johnny appleseed did and always seed more than you take.
If only people with the resources would seed
