I2P - A public service announcement
(lemmy.world)
@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.
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.
PSA that I2P is a whole darknet, not just some anonymizing torrent client. It comes with an IRC relay (or some such; words aren't working great at the moment) and a webserver too.
Yes, but also no. The plugin for BiglyBT for example isn't a whole darknet, it's just a way to torrent over I2P. But if you install the router then yes, it does come with the things you say, however they're very configurable so it's quite easy to turn on or off.
