Just a PSA that I2P exists if you want to try out anonymous torrenting. Head over to I2P for questions on how to set it up.

I won't answer questions that could get me into legal trouble, but I'd be happy to help with more generic I2P things.

What makes it different is that I2P uses something called garlic routing to anonymize you and everyone participating in the swarm. So nobody can tell what you're downloading, except those in the same swarm, but they can't tell who you are because your id in the swarm isn't connected to your IP-address.

Other than that it's pretty much normal torrenting. Many clients such as BiglyBT already support I2P.
