    TL;DR it’s a video by Mental Outlaw preferring I2P over a VPN for torrenting because everyone on I2P is always routing whereas on Tor only some are

    Just use a Debrid service and you won’t have to worry about being anonymous. Faster too cause download speeds aren’t dependent on seeders.

        It’s only $3/mo for gigabit download speeds—or pay nothing and wait hours, sometimes days for a single seeder to show up on a network that no one uses.

        Been there, done that. L2P is a waste of time. I would gladly pay 10x what I pay for a Debrid service. Cancel your VPN and just sign up already. You’ll save a lot of money, and you can have any torrent you want in under an hour, no matter how big of a file it is.

        Or don’t and continue waiting for seeds on your little dead network. Your loss.

          Who pissed in your cereal this morning? If you don’t value privacy and anonymity online that’s fine, but why come into a community about i2p and moan about i2p? Just leave. If you’re not interested you can be that somewhere else.

            I’m not even upset; chill. (Why do people always react to me like this?)

            I don’t look at community names cause ADHD. My bad. That said, using a Debrid service does protect your privacy. Just trying to let people know there’s a better way to get torrents without waiting ages for the download to finish. Sorry for trying to help.

              Be honest, are you an ad bot? Because I can’t imagine anyone being so loyal to any company otherwise.

              If people always react to you in a negative way you need to reassess the way you interact with people.

              Going forward, contribute in a positive way or stay away.
