Hi everyone,

I need some help with qBittorrent. I can't afford a paid VPN right now, so I'm trying other ways to keep my downloads somewhat anonymous.

I already tried I2P, but the torrent availability is very limited and I can't find what I'm looking for. So I went back to qBittorrent.

My current setup:

• DHT, PeX and Local Peer Discovery are disabled.
• Anonymous mode is enabled.
• Encryption is set to "Allow encryption".

The problem: Even with these options disabled, the torrents I download still show up on iknowwhatyoudownload.com under my public IP.

My questions:

• If DHT/PeX/LPD are disabled, what could be causing my IP to be exposed?
• Could public trackers (HTTP/UDP) be revealing my IP, even with anonymous mode on?
• Is there any extra setting in qBittorrent that could help reduce exposure?
• Is there any free alternative (other than I2P) for someone without a VPN?

I know a paid VPN would be ideal, but it's not possible right now. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Boas,

​

Estou a planear uma viagem para Marrocos e, para isso, tenho de sair dos Açores e fazer escala em Lisboa.

​

Como o meu voo para Marrocos só parte no dia seguinte, vou ter de passar uma noite em Lisboa.

​

Gostaria de saber se alguém já passou a noite no Aeroporto de Lisboa e como foi a experiência.

​

Aproveito também para perguntar se existe algum serviço seguro de guarda de bagagens no aeroporto, para poder deixar as malas e dar um passeio por Lisboa durante algumas horas.

​

Obrigado desde já pelas vossas dicas!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use qBittorrent with I2P for anonymous downloading, but I'm running into an issue and would appreciate some advice.

Current setup:

I2P v2.12.0 (running with Network: OK and port open).

qBittorrent with "I2P (experimental)" enabled, server 127.0.0.1, port 7656, and "Mixed mode" turned off.

I use torrents from public trackers like uindex.org and 1337x.to.

The problem: Even with I2P configured, the torrents I download still show up on iknowwhatyoudownload.com under my public IP. So the traffic seems to be going through my normal connection, not I2P.

I've tested I2PSnark and torrents from tracker2.postman.i2p, but the content on those trackers is very limited – I can't find the same releases I get from public sites.

My questions:

Why might qBittorrent be ignoring I2P for public torrents, even with "Mixed mode" off?

Are there any other active I2P trackers besides Postman that offer a wider variety of content (movies, series, etc.)?

Which client do you recommend for torrenting with I2P? Is I2PSnark the best option, or are there more feature-rich alternatives?

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Happy to provide more details if needed.

Thanks!
