MODERATORS
I think it's the older way around. There are really only 3 or 4 countries where using a VPN to pirate is needed. I'm just willing to bet you live in one of those countries.
You want a tray of cookies for that original line?
Oatmeal please. If you want to be anonymous on the internet, use TOR not a VPN.
Torrenting over TOR. Fantastic idea. You clearly know what you're talking about.
Use cases are important.
Wanna torrent anonymously and don't wanna pay for a VPN? Get into I2P
If you want to download at dial-up speeds for most of your stuff.
It's still new so that's expected, as more and more people start using it, the speeds will get better automatically.
There's also private trackers, you won't need a VPN if you get your torrents from them.
Does I2P utilize nodes or something that can be hosted? I’m lucky enough to live in a location with symmetrical gigabit internet, so even if I don’t use it myself I could at least donate some bandwidth. Could run next to my TOR relay.
Private trackers are a very handy option. I’ve found their rules can often get restrictive. Although it makes sense - gotta protect the swarm.
If you’ve got a symmetrical gigabit line, you'd be a great fit for hosting a high-bandwidth I2P node, it helps the whole network scale and makes things faster for everyone. Though I'd recommend reading more about i2p before diving in.

Thanks for the links! I’ve got the I2P Router app configured and running as a daemon process.
