picotorrent VS i2p.i2p

While the torrent client included in the owntinfoil zip is open source, the two .exe's included are not, and he's actually violating the open source license for https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

You can look the code of PicoTorrent, is a clean and small client (based on libtorrent too) : https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

Love Transmission but went to picotorrent a few years ago, even smaller footprint https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

I wish some of the other BT clients took off besides the big 3 (Qbt, Deluge, Transmission and I guess rtorrent+rutorrent as well). There are some other simple BT clients out there that mimic early uTorrent GUI, one of the most notable was Hadouken, which was headless. It had a web UI that's reminiscent of uTorrent 2.0.4. https://github.com/hadouken/hadouken Sadly the project seems dead, as the last official release was in 2015. There's another minimal torrent client named Picotorrent available for Windows https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent, but I am not sure how well this works on heavy libraries, and I doubt many private trackers allow it because it's so niche. Another client I used to use back in the day was Halite, but that also died in 2015.

Not really true - v0.20 of PicoTorrent [1] was released the same day as libtorrent released support for v2 torrents. I think this predates BiglyBT 2.5 with v2 [2] support with about two weeks.

How to setup I2P | How to setup Tor

This appears to link to the C++ version of I2P. Not the original "Official" Java version which is more complex and has much more built-in features: https://geti2p.net

> anonymous P2P encrypted communication platform (that doesn't require anything like a phone number for creating an account)

You mean https://geti2p.net?

It is not sufficient to serve the torrent files (or magnet links) anonymously: you will leak your IP unless you also download the actual files through darknet. However, Tor project does not recommend to use Tor for that: https://support.torproject.org/#misc_misc-4.

The actual solution is torrenting through I2P: https://geti2p.net. They support it out of the box and there are a few good trackers.

I've tried it from scratch, and it does indeed work on Parrot. I used the Debian apt repo on geti2p.net website.

I recently decided to setup I2P on a Raspberry Pi, so I installed the jar file listed on the geti2p.net on Linux. When I went into the directory where the other i2p files are I couldn't find the router.config file.

https://geti2p.net is real
