Just wanted to know what you guys consider to be better when torrenting. Is it I2P network or a VPN like Mullvad, Proton or IVPN?

    Got a source for that? Torrenting “hurts” tor 'cos it uses up bandwidth that could be used for useful stuff like comms from journalists, dissidents, etc.

    But IIRC tor was designed with clearnet in mind whereas I2P is “self-centered”.

    Do you mean accessing I2P implies using an I2IP router to begin with?

      It not only hurts tor because it usage up bandwith but in other ways as well. Torrenting makes many peer to peer connections which hurst tor in multiple ways. I suggest reading the docs of tor to better understand how and why this is.

      I dont understand your question about I2P. You need some form of I2P router to use I2P in anyway.
