@CAVOK Anonymous torrenting? Is this a fever dream?
Nope, and it's awesome. I2P works similarly to tor except instead of being discouraged, there's a torrent client built in. Only down side is as it's an entirely P2P network with alot of hops (more than tor) it's quite slow.
I don't think there's a soulseek i2p. As for regular torrent clients there are a few. BiglyBT, Transmission-i2p (abandoned but functional), XD, libtorrent - if you're a programmer, qtorrent etc.
My pleasure.
No, it works well but the downside as mentioned below is speed. I've seen speeds in the MBit range, but that's very rare. Usually around 300-500 kBits for me.
Perhaps BiglyBT is faster? I don't know. I only use the one built in.
@nivenkos
Not necessarelly. There is also the option to increase the number of concurrent connection. This may have some negative side effect on anonymisity, but probably not enought that it should be a source of worry for torrenting (as there are multiple connection at a time, via different server).
Actually, triber is onion routing made specifically for torrent. And it works pretty well.
