What are the advantages of doing so and how does it differ from vanilla setup?
What @supervent@lemmy.dbzer0.com said. Basically you get access to the I2P network (overlay on top of the regular internet) that provides anonymity and doesn't require any port forwarding. Thus, this allows every user to seed torrents without worrying about opening ports or getting letters in the mail.
The torrent space on I2P is still growing, there are some chads cross-seeding to the I2P network allowing for torrenting popular torrents over I2P.
No need of a VPN or pay anything to protect yourself.
If you can find the torrents you want on I2P, it's sadly alot smaller then clearnet for torrents currently
That is the lacking area. There needs to be a development in the area of DHT crawlers and indexers to help find torrents on I2P like how btdigg works, but for I2P torrents. Hopefully one day.
