▲ 12 ▼ Why torrenting haven't fully adopted I2P? (lemmy.dbzer0.com) submitted 3 years ago by idkman@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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?
[–] Madiator2011@lm.madiator.cloud 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) How so. Only idea what I can get is reduce number of hops. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] god@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
