@p @cvnt @NonPlayableClown @mischievoustomato @Hyperhidrosis @frogzone Do you mean what does it do to torrents? AFAIK nothing.

It has a torrenter built into the UI or there's a protocol or something, and you can use that to download torrents. Usually it's nothing special. I broke into the I2P torrenting scene for a hot minute and most of the torrents are stuff you can find over the clear web in usually a few clicks. Even worse, most have no seeders, so downloading is impossible. But admittedly it's been a very long time since then. Things might have changed.

I was told once there's some way to bridge I2P's connection so it can be used over the clear net like Tor. If true, this would mean you could plop it's port into your favorite torrenting programs and get maybe 1/2 the speed you'd natively get but for free instead of paying for a VPN.

Realistically, there's no good reason to use it unless you're the poorest of poorfags.
