Look in to i2p
Can someone correct me here.
If I have i2P enabled on my qBittorent client and I start seeding a torrent downloaded from a non-i2P connection.
Does my seed of it allow others to download that torrent through i2P?
No, you need to cross seed. A torrent client that allows for this is biglybt. Or you need to manually re upload it on i2p
TIL it's not L2P, as in "Learn 2 Peer"
~~I have looked into i2p and find it not easy to understand and use. I have yet to download something successfully using it.~~
Confused it with ipfs.
I2P is IMO the future for torrenting. The only downside it still has is that their is less content. But that will be solved when more and more people migrate to I2P
Does that mean you would route your BitTorrent traffic through I2P?
Doesn’t that severely limit peer discovery to only other I2P users, since AFAIK I2P has no exit nodes / clearweb access?
Yes that is true. Their are a few bittorrent clients that can cross seed however. But it mainly stays inside i2P which Is good and makes it fully anonymous
I tried ipfs and have not managed to download a single file or where I might find them. How is I2P?
I2p is fairly easy to use. The normal I2P client even comes with a torrent client bundled. Also URLs for postman aka best torrent site are included.
