Haha. Well, I guess I have a ulterior motive for promoting i2p; the more people get in it and contribute to the network (port forward the NTCP2 and SSU2 to accept transit tunnels) the better network speeds will get! Just the act of torrenting through i2p will help the network tremendously.
I have noticed that speeds in i2pd (c++) are faster than in the original java implementation so maybe you can try that out? It's fast enough for my use case, but yes streaming torrents in i2p is still far away.
But the upside is, you don't have to rely on a VPN to protect yourself against copyright trolls! Plus, putting it on a fully automated *arr stack means you can just add a movie on radarr and let the *arrs take care of everything in about a day or so. I average at about 200-300 KiB / s per well-seeded movie file, and around half that for something poorly seeded.
That’s still extremely slow compared to my 6MB/s network connection. Still you are right the more people that join the fast it will be.
The other issue I’ve found is it doesn’t have all the torrent selection the clearnet has.
Has this improved or is it still the same?
it is improving a load. Also you can ask on the wishlist of postman. Many folks are happy to reseed it for you or make it available on I2P.
