I was sad to see i2p's maintainer zzz quit the project after he got some pushback about politics I think. Reminded me to be thankful for all the unpaid hard work open source maintainers put in.

And then you can browse .i2p websites.
Where do you get them? Is there some kind of catalog? (don't answer if it's not supposed to be in normal internet)
I really like I2P as a project, and I think it gets a lot of things right. For example having every network participant relay some internal traffic, instead of relying on altruism from relay operators, makes it much harder for a single entity to control enough hops to deanonymize users. Sadly, outside of torrenting I2P doesn't seem to have much traction, losing out to the better funded tor project
Does I2P torrenting operate at remotely comparable speeds to without? I recall hearing that it was vaguely frowned upon with Tor back in the day for saturating the networ and it didn't seem like there was much reason to use it over basically any VPN, especially speed wise, assuming your motive was to avoid copyright notices.
Is there a seedbox provider with preconfigured I2P connectivity?
I could never work out how to use this in the past. Has it gotten any easier to use? Tor made things a lot easier.
I too would love a one button solution. And also a server-only node.

Torrenting is I2P's foot in the door for much wider adoption, which would help drive other types of usage. I really hope it takes off, especially since qBitTorrent 4.6 just integrated support; the current stagnation of filesharing, especially w.r.t. needing a VPN for everything, needs some shaking up.
We will still need VPNs to get good connectivity to other residential ISPs until some government entity (or market condition) inspires ISPs to invest in more hardware and peering with each other. CDNs and VPN providers are now sadly a requirement for the internet to work the way we expect it to.
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
