I'm deeply sorry, but I had to mention i2p torrenting, it might become more popular soon.
Sidenote: I2P torrenting doesn't require a vpn or port forwarding, and is indeed more private.
I2P torrenting with a seedbox is the undeniable future. It will probably just take a year or so to reach critical mass. It's slow now because a lack of mass.
The main relevant difference between I2P and Tor is that Tor runs on donated bandwidth and therefore can't scale: the more it is used, the more volunteers are needed to donate bandwidth. Which is why they aren't happy with people torrenting.
I2P is P2P so the more people use it, the faster it becomes. Which is why they really want people to use it for torrenting.
Why do you see i2p torrenting becoming popular? I think it's probably too much hassle for 99% of people.
Yes, I downloaded something recommended because I was curious and genuinely could not make heads or tails of what I was looking at. I've got about 4 pis and 80tb of storage kicking around, for context. Just noped out after a couple days
