I found I2P much better than Tor network, and now it supports BitTorrent protocol too https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent .

Why haven't the pirates migrated to I2P? Why are we still using clearnet and making people backout of seeding cause of DMCA?

Because it's slower than using VPN + clearnet?

Do be honest I don't care about speed when it's free. I just start the download and enjoy it a few days later

[-] monerobull@monero.town 12 points 1 year ago

The selection of torrents on i2p is also a lot smaller than on the clearweb.

I might work on this later. I'm a developer specialized in p2p technologies. I'm currently working on a decentralized search engine for ipfs but after that I would like to build a torrent client that supports clearnet and i2p at the same time, and also supports decentralized search of torrents

I think biglybt already does this?

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks I will look into that. I'm not sure yet if that's exactly what I want, I don't only want the client to support downloading from multiple networks, I also want the client to provide the torrent on all available networks, working as a bridge between them

The qBittorrent 4.6.0 alpha/beta adds support for i2p torrents. There is also a checkbox to enable "Mixed Mode" where the torrent will download through i2p and the clearnet at the same time. Sounds similar to what you are describing.

As a user: There needs to be absolute certainty that clearnet is disabled when I want it to and no way to leak the IP. Kinda like how i know setting mullvad as the internet adapter should mean client traffic only ever goes over that connection.

BiglyBT let's you so that

I agree. I leaked my ip because of shitty software in the past
