PSA: If you're going to write software for piracy, put it on I2P!
movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.
If you're a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!

What is I2P?
Thanks! I think it would be a good idea to add a short info blobb directly in your main post tho :)
It's not my post so you'd have to ask OP to do that.
Sound like the tor network? Or am I missing something?

Perhaps the main differences are:
- Unidirectional tunnels instead of bidirectional circuits
- Fully distributed and self organizing
- Packet switched instead of circuit switched
- Tunnels in I2P are short lived
- i2p puts an emphasis on communicating within the network, whereas Tor puts more emphasis on communicating via the network to outside
Together these provide some additional resilience and protection against traffic analysis compared to Tor, arguably improving security.
Thanks!
Torrents over i2p: yes! Torrents over tor: no!
Different purposes. Tor was intended so you could access the real web anonymously.
I2p the whole thing is an anonymous web. Everybody is a node. Tracing a packet never ends because you can't be sure you found the origin of the packet. Which only gets worse the longer somebody remains connected to i2p. And it even can handle torrenting, a torrent client is built in.
I2P sadly gets a lot less funding/support.
The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a fully encrypted private network layer. It protects your activity and location.
Think of it as TOR, but for P2P. (TOR is not for P2P).
