It is amazing, but it has the issue of not having that many user. I2P is great, but because not many people know about it and that it is harder to set-up than going to a torrent site and downloading, not many people use. I2P speed improve the more people use it. One other flow I found is that I2PSnark is awful and there is a need for a better client for it. From my understanding the more you seed, the better speeds you will get, thus it encourages seeding which solves the issue with normal torrent were a lot of people will not seed after a while. I think it is a great idea specially now that many torrent sites are being taken down.

That client still does not support DHT via I2P correct? That’s what their github page says

I haven’t bothered trying it since it lacks DHT. For torrenting I2P with DHT I guess people are mainly going to use I2PSnark. (BiglyBT has limited support for I2P DHT but it is clunky and not very usable)
For torrenting I2P without DHT qBittorrent is working well, granted it is still quite new to the I2P scene.
I mean, that sure does suck but because most everyone is using the same tracker I don’t think it’s that big of an issue on i2p.
