Is retroshare the new iteration of this?

I wish more pirates used I2P. But it seems like many cannot deal with waiting a day for their download to finish.

Any good tutorial on using I2P in combination with tools like transmission or aria? Don't matter to wait a day or a week..

I even hate same day expedition on online shops.. never understood why people have the urge to want to have it within a day.

I don't know of a tutorial, but most tools have to have support for I2P built in, otherwise they won't work. A good torrent client that does is qBittorrent.

Browsing I2Ps network with HTTP happens over a SOCKS5 proxy, so if aria supports that, you can use it too. https://geti2p.net/ should have more information.
