It is amazing, but it has the issue of not having that many user. I2P is great, but because not many people know about it and that it is harder to set-up than going to a torrent site and downloading, not many people use. I2P speed improve the more people use it. One other flow I found is that I2PSnark is awful and there is a need for a better client for it. From my understanding the more you seed, the better speeds you will get, thus it encourages seeding which solves the issue with normal torrent were a lot of people will not seed after a while. I think it is a great idea specially now that many torrent sites are being taken down.
How do you get sites URL? I’m confused, there is no real search engine or crawler or directory… I was never able to surf i2p because I could not access any site… Any clue?
You need to configure your browser to first use the proxy that i2p is offering. From there, just browse to any eepsite (hostname ending with
.i2p). For torrents, you’ll likely want to check http://tracker2.postman.i2p.If you’re up to no good you probably want to visit an innocent site first to make sure your browser is sending the DNS query via i2p (or better yet, run your own DNS server that blocks all
.i2pqueries).
