I found I2P much better than Tor network, and now it supports BitTorrent protocol too https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent .
Why haven't the pirates migrated to I2P? Why are we still using clearnet and making people backout of seeding cause of DMCA?
How so. Only idea what I can get is reduce number of hops.
Of course. Your idea is THE idea. You CANNOT get mass adoption without a minimal amount of hops. You won't get the hordes of pirates running around reading wikis on how to configure their router for piracy and how to get an i2p provider and how to get an index etc.
Torrenting right now is so broadly adopted because you just download a Torrenting client, click the magnet, click OK and you're good to go.
If you HAD to set up port forwarding, some magnet handling register in windows preferences, just those two would stop the bulk majority of pirates. And that's not even 1/4 of what you have to do to use i2p correctly.
There's a Windows bundle that you download that sets everything up for you. No configuration required.
Install, start, wait 3 min to get integrated into the network, locate your favourite Linux distro on a tracker and click the magnet link. Easy.
On Linux it's a bit more complicated, but that's true for almost everything. Not a lot more, but a little.
There's a Firefox extension that says up the proxy settings for you, you'll just need to install I2P and start it
Which bundle is this? 😌 I shall try it.
Got to install Firefox first, then start the easyinstall.
