I agree. Actually in this day and age I think all information sharing should better be placed on darknets. I don't see the net advantage to anybody of being profiled constantly on clearnet. Naive question: is there such a thing as Bittorrent over I2P or otherwise anonymized decentralized file sharing?

> Bittorrent over I2P Yes. I2P is designed with P2P in mind. The default Java I2P client already comes with a bundled BitTorrent client, there is also a BitTorrent client called "Vuze" and is used by some non-anonymous users to help seeding a torrent across the clearnet and I2P simultaneously. Because of the nature of I2P, don't expect great speed. No seeder is "usual", 10 KiB/s is "normal" and 50 KiB/s with only 3 or 5 seeders is "good", overall, it feels as if it's still the early 2000s, but when you get used to it and adopt a "download and forget, come back in 3 days" mentality, it's not actually that bad. The fastest download I've ever seen was the movie Snowden, 20+ seeders and over 200 KiB/s+...

I see it as 2 separate problems: data availability and anonymous transfer. IMO, you need 2 separate solutions because they are 2 different problems. IPFS solved the data availability problem because you can incentivize storage miners to make your data available. This is something new, IMO. Accessing it anonymously is possible with an extra protocol layer.

  For instance, using TOR to download books from libgen should be pretty safe, no?
