Everyone knows now about the 4.6.0 update where I2P support is officially added. (As an I2P user) this is perhaps the most exciting addition to I2P. I hope that this update makes many people join the I2P network, this would really help to strengthen the network and it is just an awesome place.
Anyway, I have a couple of questions regarding this addition and it's implementation.
- How is the I2P network implemented? (exactly)
- Does this means that torrents made in I2P (I2Psnarks) can be downloaded via Qbittorrent? (by default?)
- Does this mean that torrents made in Qbittorrent can be downloaded over the I2P network? (by default?)
- can i choose what torrents can be converted(?) to I2P and which not? and how do i manage and track I2P torrents exactly?
- is there a list of I2P specific trackers? there where some on I2psnark but they died bcause the trackers owners quit/dissapeared (the websites are dead to).
- I2P torrents are anonymous because they are being routed trough other I2P users (somewhat similar to TOR, but every user is a "node") I am assuming that I2P torrents most likely also are getting routed trough regular I2P users. Does Qbittorrent also contribute or compensate for this extra strain/usage on the I2P neztwork?
- How can someone convert or make a torrent into a I2P torrent?
- I downloaded and updated Qbittorrent via flatpak (linux) on my PC, where are the I2P settings? are there I2P settings? how can i use I2P in version 4.6.0?
- could qbittorrent PLEASE add there own I2p router to the application, this would help the I2P network DRASTICALLY and if every i2p torrent gets its own adress people could run there torrent i2p 24/7 and collect i2p torrent adresses while idling (just like how I2P collects website adresses on the I2P network!) this i2p router would then only be used if the i2p setting is turned on it the qbittorrent application, THIS IS TO AVOID LEECHERS THAT USE THE I2P NETWORK WITHOUT CONTRIBUTING! EVERY user should be a contributor to I2P!! This is why I2P is anonymous!
Sadly there isn't really good documentation about the implementation about I2P in Qbittorrent, or i couldn't find any atleast...
