FTR there are I2P plugins for a vast range of external clients and even an embedded new client. Oh and BTW there is even a C++ reimplementation of I2P. why "a bit harder"? look this is what really sets me off in Tor: the posture of it being an "easy solution" to everything. Please, lets be frank. I2P supports torrenting on its network since many years and it works perfectly fine. Beyond that nice, there is no need for Tor to push more "marketing" to race above "competitors". The mainstream battle is already won, if there was any. The vision on the linked gist to conquer a new fronteer to bring more relays to Tor: BS! To my eyes and those of many others, Tor would be much more credible if it would acknowledge and respect boundaries. There are implementations out there that are way less... "institutionalized" and work perfectly fine for specific uses. Such niches shouldn't be up for grabs whenever it comes handy, we shouldn't ignore specialized implementations even if they aren't marketed as Tor. Centralizing all in one network doesn't do good to anyone. So now, because of torrenting, is I2P the next Tor? I don't think so. But I think it would be honest for us to point out people in the direction of best implementations and there is no doubt that I2P is the best for torrents. Hype, marketing and competitive behaviour has never done any good to F/OSS projects and less than ever to crypto projects, IMHO. and I know you aren't a shiller grarpamp, hoping you don't take it personal. ciao -- ~.,_ Denis Roio aka Jaromil http://Dyne.org think &do tank "+.
