will I2P speed increase if more users use it?

Hey y'all every time I've ever tried using I2P some eepsites have been really slow, like maxing out at 20 KiB/s slow, others have gone up to 200 KiB/s

I don't really understand the I2P system but is it a problem with the eepsites being slow or maybe the router hops being slow?

I installed i2p on Windows 10 using the Easy-Install-Bundle 2.7.0, and this error occurs when trying to open it. Does anyone know what I should do?

I've been through 3-4 internet providers since i learned about i2p and all 3 of them i limit to 1600 participation otherwise my internet hangs. Has anyone used a faster router behind their shit router and had success? currently i limit participation. am i looking for an excuse to buy a new router, yes, so tell me i need a new one.

explain, appreciate it.

I am interested in P2P systems, decentralization technologies. Where can I read news about I2P and similar projects?

Typing error in "Post-Install Work" on geti2p website Is "dpkg-reconfigure i2p" Should be "dkpg-reconfigure i2p"

Does I2P have the same experience as TOR when accessing clearnet websites

I'm trying to install I2P in a LXC container under Proxmox which is based on the Debian 12 template, by following the Debian instructions here Debian/Ubuntu - I2P

but it failed near the end of the process. I don't think the AppArmour errors are critical, I probably just don't have that installed. The dpkg error seems to be the fatal one, but I do have dpkg installed and I can run it and dpkg--configure so I don't know what that failed.

I've changed the ip in 00-net.i2p.router.web.RouterConsoleRunner-clients.config to my local ip but when i use another device on the network it gives me a 403 request denied error and tells me to add a line to "advanced configuration", how can i fix this?

Specifically, I would like to know in terms of the level of anonymity.

Possibly this forum becomes less reachable.

I need hide my ip from vpn server.

By using I2P, everyone contributes by being a node, unlike Tor. What has been on my mind is that by being a node I may be contributing to an illegal activity. Is that a valid concern?

Hi all,

I was wondering how long it would take to be fully integrated into the network, with the number of active peers being close to the number of known peers. I would say that after about 2 hours of uptime my router is integrated very well and can reach all the eepsites I want, but the number of active peers is not close to the number of known peers. To illustrate, my known peers are 4700 but my active peers are only 1600. Is it supposed to be this way? I would love to hear your experiences with network integration.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently running a VPS server with a 2.5 Gbps connection and using it to seed files onto the I2P network. However, I've noticed that the download speeds are quite low, around 30 KB/s, even though both my server and the receiving device have high speed internet connections.

I've already configured both the sender and receiver to use the maximum 16 tunnels. I'm considering setting up multiple I2P routers using Docker containers on my VPS to increase the number of seeders and possibly improve download speeds, I think that's the only way to increase upload speed.

I have also tried to increase the max outbound tunnel configuration so that I can use more than 16 tunnels, but I can't. I am using i2pplus btw.

Does anyone know any other way to increase the speed?

Regards.

Fore score and seven years ago I have been interested in trying i2P, probably since 2010-2011. Mainly, I’ve wanted to use it for torrenting on a private tracker, but the concept has always fascinated me in general. However, I’ve struggled to figure it out on my own. Lately, ChatGPT has been a great help with my Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu setups, so I’m wondering if it can guide me through configuring and setting up i2P as well.

For those of you who use it, what do you use i2P for, and what’s the community like these days? Is it still thriving? I remember when both i2P and TOR were still in their early stages, but I’ve always been drawn more to i2P because it seemed lower profile—or at least that’s how I’ve always perceived it. Any insights would be appreciated!

This keeps your original thoughts but flows a bit smoother.

I want to browse the internet in the same browser i use i2p. Is that possible? I dont want to have to switch proxy every time i want to search or browse.

I want links to i2p or a search engine that gives me links to i2p. That does not contain censorship for anything. Where can I get it?

What causes this message? How to fix this message so not bob shows latency and encryption? Thanks I only have this problem on linux host.

I am currently working on getting I2P to run well in a Qubes VM. I can use it, but it is firewalled, which I would like to avoid if possible. On another device, I can see that it is okay for IPV4, so that rules out the router as being the issue. That device uses Upnp, which I am struggling to get to work well in Qubes. However, I think I can get it to work so long as I override the "discovery" phase with the url of the igd device config (in upnpc, this would be running upnpc -u <url> <command>). However, I can't figure out a way to override the discovery part in either the Java implementation or i2pd, and the errors they give make it clear that they are failing at discovery.

Any thoughts/ideas?

any thoughts on muwire? it's like nayapstsster and forgoes all the torrent bs like for a user with tons of content they dont have to rely on a tracker or upload individually. looking for pros and cons and all that.

Rise in I2P speed has been significant compared to previous years. Loving every bit of it.

Is there a possibility to load i2psnark-rpc as xpi2p or as su3 file to run it as a plugin? Or how do I install it without the files?

Is there also a standalone version of snark with RPC ?
