geti2p.net/en/download for the java version, which comes with extra apps. Otherwise, you can go to i2pd.website for the C++ version which is much lighter and you can just point your browser/torrent clients at the i2p router and you are good to go.
This is a little guide to show you how to setup a small container dedicated to an i2p router such as i2pd. This allows for a central router for all your clients on your LAN for example....
Step 5 from the guide shows how to test if i2pd is running on your Alpine container. If you are using i2pd on another machine, similar commands will work as well.
For the Alpine Container:
Run ps command to see if the i2pd program is running
Run service i2pd status to see that status. Ex. * status: started
Find your container’s local IP address with ip -4 a and navigate to the i2pd web console at http://:7070
Script was fixed and now correctly copies the reseed certificates from the repo to the data directory. Running the script on a fresh alpine container now results in a working i2pd router with no config necessary. This fixes the “Firewall Status: Unknown” issue.
Yes, absolutely. I have a VPS that runs a i2pd router and I can set my clients to point to my VPS and I am able to use the I2P network. In doing so, I had to make sure I forwarded the correct ports on my VPS so that it would reach the i2pd application. I will do a write up soon.
That is the lacking area. There needs to be a development in the area of DHT crawlers and indexers to help find torrents on I2P like how btdigg works, but for I2P torrents. Hopefully one day.
Yes, I did exactly this when I2P support was first in beta. I have a docker stack with Gluetun as my network for all my *arr containers and I was able to still point my qBittorrent to my i2pd router and it worked just fine.
Here is an ansible role you can use to deploy i2pd to linux servers and such: codeberg.org/systemfailure.net/ansible_i2pd. Otherwise, on most distros the i2pd package should be able to be installed from the package managers in the terminal.
From my experience, some popular I2P torrents have gotten up to 1 MB/s download, but I usually average around 200 KB/s. While it is not blazing fast, it does provide a good deal of anonymity for everyone involved with the torrent.
Also, you can lower the anonymity and increase speeds by reducing the number of hops from 3 to 2 or 1. You can choose how “anonymous” you’d like to be while torrenting, at the cost of speed.
You can cross-seed torrents by adding I2P trackers to the tracker list. What helps is when you upload the .torrent file to tracker2.postman.i2p (the only? i2p public torrent tracker) so that others can find the magnet/torrent link and start downloading. That way people can find the InfoHash and also have trackers embedded in the i2p .torrent file to allow you to find seeders.
It is experimental indeed. While it “works”, it is no where near the reliability and efficiency of other I2P torrent clients like I2Psnark or BiglyBT, both of which are Java based.
What I mean is if I create a new torrent of Big Buck Bunny with a InfoHash of b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184 for example, no one will find my torrent by searching for “Big Buck Bunny”. Unless I post this hash somewhere, advertising “Hey, this torrent is Big Buck Bunny” like what 1337x and other torrent sites do, you won’t “find” it. Basically, we have to use a torrent indexer like tracker2.postman.i2p to search the metadata and find torrents we want. If that makes sense.
I’ll check out MuWire, was unaware that it used DHT.
Also, I am just saying that tracker2.postman.i2p is the only torrent directory we have currently, and its best way to find and advertise torrents for others. Trackers (where your client announces to) are helpful to finding peers of the same torrent.
This is a good point. I also feel like private trackers are meant for people who actually seed content they download, and just have good intentions to help share content. This also comes with hardware requirements (disk space) sometimes that not everyone has.
What type of piracy do you use the most? (strawpoll.com)
Personally I use public trackers the most and only recently private trackers for stuff in my native language....
