It's not an alternative to VPN. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fjor@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah thats fine, I was just wondering how the speed varied from one solution to the other. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Strict3443@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* From my experience, some popular I2P torrents have gotten up to 1 MB/s download, but I usually average around 200 KB/s. While it is not blazing fast, it does provide a good deal of anonymity for everyone involved with the torrent. Also, you can lower the anonymity and increase speeds by reducing the number of hops from 3 to 2 or 1. You can choose how "anonymous" you'd like to be while torrenting, at the cost of speed. permalink fedilink source parent
