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 know about I2P for some time now and I really like the pitch, but I never got around of actually trying it sadly.
Perhaps today is the day?
Off-topic question: what does “PSA” stand for?
"Public Service Announcement", sorry, I thought that was a common shorthand.
Thanks! It kind of is, I saw it several times the last few days (never noticed before). It's kinda variant of FYI I guess?
What makes I2P anonymous?
Also how is it different from normal torrenting?
What makes it different is that I2P uses something called garlic routing to anonymize you and everyone participating in the swarm. So nobody can tell what you're downloading, except those in the same swarm, but they can't tell who you are because your id in the swarm isn't connected to your IP-address.
Other than that it's pretty much normal torrenting. Many clients such as BiglyBT already support I2P.
