The release of qBittorrent v4.6.0 stable comes with I2P support. While experimental, we can still get a working torrent setup using qBittorrent now. qBittorrent-nox is the Web-UI only version, and currently it does not have configuration settings in the Web-UI for I2P settings. This guide will show you how to setup qBittorrent-nox and manually change the qBittorrent.conf file to allow for I2P torrenting!

What are the advantages of doing so and how does it differ from vanilla setup?

No need of a VPN or pay anything to protect yourself.

If you can find the torrents you want on I2P, it's sadly alot smaller then clearnet for torrents currently

That is the lacking area. There needs to be a development in the area of DHT crawlers and indexers to help find torrents on I2P like how btdigg works, but for I2P torrents. Hopefully one day.
