Just a PSA that I2P exists if you want to try out anonymous torrenting. Head over to I2P for questions on how to set it up.

I won’t answer questions that could get me into legal trouble, but I’d be happy to help with more generic I2P things.

      I don’t use qbittorent I’m afraid, but someone created a tutorial for it if you know how to download from a torrent hash it’s here: Torrent hash = 3F1D51095F9B116739172C1BCED149ACF2B10692

      If not then there’s a built in torrent client called I2PSnark in the java version. It’s rather basic but it’ll get the job done.

                undefined> I2PSnark

                Is it working system-wide, like openvpn?

                  No, not system wide by default. Change your browser proxy to localhost:4444 and you should be able to reach i2p-sites like http://planet.i2p or the bittorrent tracker (linked in the I2P sub). Changing that will make use of the outproxies so it’ll kind of work like TOR.

                    did you compile I2PSnark from source?
