https://geti2p.net/en/download for the java version, which comes with extra apps. Otherwise, you can go to https://i2pd.website/ for the C++ version which is much lighter and you can just point your browser/torrent clients at the i2p router and you are good to go.

This is a little guide to show you how to setup a small container dedicated to an i2p router such as i2pd. This allows for a central router for all your clients on your LAN for example.

What I mean is if I create a new torrent of Big Buck Bunny with a InfoHash of b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184 for example, no one will find my torrent by searching for "Big Buck Bunny". Unless I post this hash somewhere, advertising "Hey, this torrent is Big Buck Bunny" like what 1337x and other torrent sites do, you won't "find" it. Basically, we have to use a torrent indexer like tracker2.postman.i2p to search the metadata and find torrents we want. If that makes sense.

Yes, I did exactly this when I2P support was first in beta. I have a docker stack with Gluetun as my network for all my *arr containers and I was able to still point my qBittorrent to my i2pd router and it worked just fine.

It is experimental indeed. While it "works", it is no where near the reliability and efficiency of other I2P torrent clients like I2Psnark or BiglyBT, both of which are Java based.

[-] Strict3443@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Strict3443@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, absolutely. I have a VPS that runs a i2pd router and I can set my clients to point to my VPS and I am able to use the I2P network. In doing so, I had to make sure I forwarded the correct ports on my VPS so that it would reach the i2pd application. I will do a write up soon.

You can cross-seed torrents by adding I2P trackers to the tracker list. What helps is when you upload the .torrent file to tracker2.postman.i2p (the only? i2p public torrent tracker) so that others can find the magnet/torrent link and start downloading. That way people can find the InfoHash and also have trackers embedded in the i2p .torrent file to allow you to find seeders.

From my experience, some popular I2P torrents have gotten up to 1 MB/s download, but I usually average around 200 KB/s. While it is not blazing fast, it does provide a good deal of anonymity for everyone involved with the torrent.

Also, you can lower the anonymity and increase speeds by reducing the number of hops from 3 to 2 or 1. You can choose how "anonymous" you'd like to be while torrenting, at the cost of speed.

Guide for Linux: https://strict3443.codeberg.page/i2p-info/hugo/public/posts/how-to-use-i2p-on-qbittorrent-nox/

You can install i2pd with sudo apt install i2pd and then point your services towards your i2p router (Ex. 127.0.0.1) and you are good to go.

The I2P network thanks you.

[-] Strict3443@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

What @supervent@lemmy.dbzer0.com said. Basically you get access to the I2P network (overlay on top of the regular internet) that provides anonymity and doesn't require any port forwarding. Thus, this allows every user to seed torrents without worrying about opening ports or getting letters in the mail.

The torrent space on I2P is still growing, there are some chads cross-seeding to the I2P network allowing for torrenting popular torrents over I2P.

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!

Made a simple Hugo site to host a bunch of articles and posts related to I2P, all in one place. All posts have been translated to English. There are a lot of a good articles on the inner workings of I2P and can help understand I2P better.

Good article on how to set up and use Syncthing over I2P for a truly decentralized sync. Helps work around NAT issues and provides good privacy benefits.

About

I2PSnark is an I2P-only BitTorrent client built with Java. This allows you to spin up a docker container with a I2PSnark client which can be managed through the web-ui. This specific I2PSnark application is from the I2P+ team at https://i2pplus.github.io/ and http://skank.i2p using this package http://i2pplus.github.io/installers/I2P+_2.2.0+_i2psnark-standalone.zip.

Testing

Use this .torrent file to test if your I2PSnark client is working:
