Have been using it for quite some time now and honestly I have found almost everything I searched for and once you set the router bandwidth properly, I was capable of downloading and seeding with 2MB/s. Satisfied my needs and gotta say not worrying about Letters coming to you is very calming
How is it compared to private trackers?
It's kind of an apples to oranges. i2p is better at protecting your privacy in my estimation, but private trackers can be better at curating high quality torrents for example.
I don’t know of any private trackers on i2p and have just used Postman mainly (the other trackers have very limited content). Postman is OK but not nearly as good as regular private trackers. If what you want are blockbuster films and the latest TV, you’ll be fine. Anything particularly nerdy you will probably find too.
There really should be more private trackers on I2P. Once you get over the slower speeds, there are a lot of benefits, like not really needing to port forward to be connectable (but you should to support the I2P network).
Really depends on how much of a niche the things you are looking for are. Content is quite easily to search with postman. As I personally don't really use private trackers I don't have a lot to compare to, but most torrents I have stumbled upon had a healthy amount of seeders on i2p
