If there are enough seeds - like 15. i2psnark downloads about 3GB/hour even if you are firewalled.

I use i2pd + i2psnark standalone. You need to configure enough bandwidth and flood router to off

snark is pretty painful program, after so much development it still have tons of bugs. Alternative is BigglyBT which is bloatware and pretty buggy too.

Hello! Following up on my previous post... I'm working on a i2p torrent client (will be open sourced, but not there yet).

I've got everything working locally, but I would like to add support for pex/dht.

I'm building w/ webtorrent, so for DHT I know that I'd need to work off of/adapt k-rpc, but I'm a little lost on where to begin.

Does DHT on i2p need bootstrap nodes? Or is it reliant on previously connected peers?

I've been working w/ these docs:
https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent

Hello! I'm working on building a torrent client that utilizes i2p, but comes batteries included (no need to download/configure i2p separately).

I spotted this page https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/embedding that talks about including specific jars as needed, but I don't see any links or docs on how to generate the jars.

Is this something that's supported? (I'm also looking at i2pd similarly)

What would the advantages of using a IPv6 layer be - versus using the standard I2P networking protocol ?

I had I2P installed and previously working on Ubuntu.

Recently switched to Debian 12.

Installed Java I2P successfully.

I2P console can be accessed.

Connected to I2P network - Bandwidth IN / OUT shows traffic flow.

Cannot access any eepsites.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at duckduckgo.i2p.

I have installed i2pd on my vps, and pc, but I can't connect to it from my computer. I am using deafult settings on my server. The server is using CLI. Does anyone have working presets for this situation?

Hi, are there any open source platforms which offer native call support for i2p? Or otherwise platforms where i2p can easily be setup? I'm just looking for *between* i2p connected clients, not between a clearnet and i2p client eg.

https://www.i2pd.xyz/

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using I2P instead of Tor? For what purposes is it better to use I2P, and for what purposes is it better to use Tor? What are the main differences in the protocols?

My goal is to create a personal i2p outproxy based on vps. Is there any good tutorial? I want to base it on i2pd. Thank you.

i cant go on any websites on i2p+ all it says is the connection has timed out or the proxy server is refusing connections. how do i fix this?

I'm running the I2PSnark java app by command line on Android. It works, the page loads and I've been able to download torrents. But everytime the app is started it forces my main browser to open to its main page. How do I stop this behavior?

Hi there, a few weeks ago I tried using I2P in Firefox, I downloaded only the Easy-Install bundle since the page said that bundle already contained the Firefox profile and that i don't need to download the one that come in a java package. However, after installing clicking open the "Browse I2P" icon on the desktop I get 2 notifications saying the same thing:
LoadClientAppsJob (notification title)
Error starting up the client class net.i2p.jetty.JettyStart (notification description)
Then I get 2 icons in the system tray each with different options.
One on the left has the options:
- Start I2P
- Enable notifications (greyed out)
- Disable notifications
- Launch I2P Browser (Safe Mode)
- Launch I2P Browser (Flexible Mode)

The one on the right has these options:
- Network: OK
- Launch I2P Browser
- Configure I2P System Tray
- Stop I2P
- Stop I2P Immediately

The only options that work in opening the I2P browser are the ones on the left, but doesn't matter which one I select, when the browser opens I get this:

Nothing ever happens from here.

I hope that you can help me please, thanks for reading. Have a good day!

Soo I recently learned about i2p and though it seems awesome I seem to be too dull to wrap my head around it. Anyhow I still want to give it a try!

After a couple of tutorials I wondered, if the i2p needs a lot of hours runtime to build up the tunnels and well… contribute to the network… wouldn’t it make more sense to NOT install it on the pc you have but rather on say a Raspberry Pi that runs 24/7 and then route the traffic of your pc‘s through that Pi?

As I said: rookie question. I don’t even know if that all made sense but it was something I couldn’t get out of my head so I appreciate every kind of thought regarding this topic.

i2pd and I2P project is one of the greatest and most outstanding projects ever created in the field of privacy and security. It is much better and far more secure than Tor.

However, the Tor project is promoted much more widely. Why don't the creators of I2P promote it more so that people can learn Concerning this amazing project and help the I2P community grow?

Do they exist? Is running an I2P node seen in the same vane as running a Tor exit node?

Not particularly comfortable with opening ports up to my Home firewall, but at the same time don't want to break any T&C's that my usual VPS providers may have (Digital Ocean and Vultr), so would rather do it somewhere else or at the very least port forward a VPN.

My OS MacOS 13.7.2 Ventura

My i2p router 2.7.0-0 Status: Network: Firewalled

My firefox 133

I use document from site and use http proxy (see screens)

HSM: Client ready, listening on 127.0.0.1:4444

What am I doing wrong ?

On link you can see other screens: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q6BSH-O4olIKJSfhWjTQyqLnR5jA94mz?usp=sharing

I resolve this problem - use Mulvand browser. Stock firefox doesnt work? I dont know why.

I had to clean I2p (3 versions) out of the computer I use for that. There was i2p+ in conflict with i2p and shortcuts to different versions, 2 or 3 tray icons, old tray icon versions running in the background from these registry startup entries. There is no uninstall so I had to remove the startup from registry for both of them as they persisted past reboot and the configuration page was not working. Most newer brosers just use system proxy so you have to take down reguler internet browsing to get i2p access to work. So getting a startup for firefox to access it was a great idea. Firefox itself is a nagware about updates, I avoid using it. Using diagnostic tools I saw i2p was connecting to I2p with javaw in one instance, but there was no response on the local admin page nor any i2p network pages. I tried updating by restarting the router but something has changed in the su3 files - they are no longer zip files I saw somewhere java and the i2p library will decompres them but I have not seen that work yet. I liked the firefox method of enabling a proxy just for that instance of browser without changing the system proxy but firefox is a pest with constant begging to update. And firefox update was unable to update if you click update since the proxy does not allow it. I used to open .su3 as a zip file then that got changed to some javaw command to open that I spotted in some web queries, that broke a lot of things. It has always been hard to contact anyone on I2p usually there is no response. I have had luck with the postman tracker but not others, If i2p had a proper installer it would have an uninstaller, it would run out of program files or downloads(portable versions) Old or different versions have to be manually removed. They leave trash in the registry starting that way. No option to disable starting automatically This javaw version 2.6.1 lost the ability to display on the browser. There is more than one tray icon of two versions. It has been inconsistant what folder gets used for data, its been in programdata, appdata, and user\appdata. It is hard to tell if a download torrent is complete or not, since it allocates the file but if the torrents web page is down you can't see the status. Or you cant see this status unless you use the version of I2p that it was downloaded with. I like a lot of the content on i2p and will keep using it but all these versions and issues are making it difficult. I'm using windows 10 for this instance of I2p.

How to contact Mods on IRC?

This is the message I get whenever I click on a link within reg.i2p and I don’t know what is going on! Some links on notbob.i2p are able to load up however for some reason I am not able anything else without getting this error. I think maybe I might be getting firewalled so I was wondering if anyone can help me find out where to access i2pd.config because I can’t find it? So that I can set a port and forward it. Or if someone can help me to enable uPnP that would be great too! Anything helps, thanks!

I have compiled a list of currently working I2P torrent trackers.
Please let me know if I missed any
I'll update this list as trackers come online or go offline.

So yesterday my I2p+ router worked totally fine, but when i tried to start it today, it was just stuck in Testing and then couldnt connect to any peers. It showed something that i was banned from the other peers until next restart. My console just spammed the this:

Thanks in beforehand for ur help guys!

Hello, i just installed i2p after seeing some video from Mental Outlaw and i wanted to try to torrent with i2p but i2p snark shows this. Does anyone now how to fix that and give me an instruction on how i can fix it?

Before you call me a bot. Just stop and think for a second. Beep boo boop. No but really. I'm wondering if it's worth it for me to use i2p. What are some good communities on i2P and is there sequential torrenting sites with a clean interface?

Hi, using I2P With ports forwarded and Network Status OK.

It came to my notice that I am sharing to the network speeds about 500KB/s+ which is great but when I use bandwidth it uses about just 30KB/s and won't get any better.

hi there, do u know any work youtube forks like http://zzlsbhhfvwg3oh36tcvx4r7n6jrw7zibvyvfxqlodcwn3mfrvzuq.b32.i2p/ or tube.i2p ?
