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?

imo I'm pretty sure that using a VPN is much easier than setting i2p

It's literally a toggle in the BitTorrent client, which hopefully will eventually default on

You can also easily add a official extension to BiglyBT for I2P support and seed clearnet torrents you've downloaded already over I2P as well

BiglyBT handles all of the I2P router itself if you don't have a existing install, you can point it to an existing I2P install if you have one that's running 24/7 so is well integrated which is what I do
