You can’t connect to peers outside the i2p network
And i personally haven’t found any active torrenting community for p2p
So yeah i2p is really cool, but i don’t think you can pirate over it just yet
Does p2p over i2p require port forwarding? I have a cheap vpn (surfshark) that does not have port forwarding and i am almost never able to seed over it. Will seeding over i2p require port forwarding?
It functions without port forwarding, but it’s much better with. While I can’t speak for the Java client, i2pd has support for UPnP, which might make things easier in some environments. You also don’t need a VPN for I2P, since the network takes care of the anonymising
it’s generally advisable to not run a vpn in front of i2p. it will run better without one and you introduce another point of failure that can reduce your anonymity in some circumstances.
Postman has a quite active community, you can find a lot of stuff there already. It’s not quite on the level of clearnet torrenting yet, of course, but it can very much stand on its own
we’re trying, also some clients will let you do that. snark and XD are i2p only, qbittorrent and bigly bt will let you pull peers from clearnet and i2p if they’ve been cross-seeded
you can use a vpn for clearnet like normal along with i2p,ideally i2p not through the vpn though. it’s a good way to cross-seed stuff into i2p though (you can do this as you’re downloading from clearnet peers) and every now and again might find some random i2p seed holdout on a “rare” torrent.
postman tracker was already shared somewhere around here, i recommend checking that out
ofc it’s nowhere near the level of clearnet but i’ve had good luck finding technical books as a test
download speed was pretty abysmal when i tried it a few years ago though so i didnt bother with anything bigger than 1 gb or so (took a few days to download a sizable book compilation)

That’s why we need more adoption.

Can’t answer that sorry, i barely tried i2p

But then you give away your ip, no?
