I'm surprised i2p torrents are still not popular enough to be offered as an option by sites like this.

I'd assume there are many people who don't help out purely because of legal fears, something i2p could help with.

What is the status on I2P these days? I used to run a lot of stuff on it. It was a lot of fun. It was like this cozy alternative development of internet, where things still felt like 1997.

it works and is getting better. still no mainstream adoption though.

Cool. I might go back to it sometime some time! I really liked the routing protocol and the ease of setting up services for it.

I2P's major drawback when torrenting is speed. Assuming a speed of 500 kbps, it would take 2,000 days to download a 10 TB torrent.
