A dedicated logo can help users quickly identify torrents compatible with I2P-based Torrentning [downloading/uploading].

With VPNs increasingly restricted and compromised through corporate acquisitions and surveillance, I2P has become a secure and independent FOSS alternative for anonymous, encrypted torrenting.

The I2P network currently maintains an estimated 100,000 to 120,000 daily users, approximately 90% of whom utilize it for torrenting activities, as reflected in publicly available I2P network statistics.

Unlike VPNs or seedboxes, I2P provides inherent end-to-end encryption and anonymity without reliance on third-party services.

Most modern torrent clients include native I2P support (as shown in the attached reference image).



Furthermore, no modifications are required to make existing or future torrents compatible with I2P.

Any torrent can be downloaded over I2P provided that at least one user seeds it via publicly listed I2P Trackers, I2P DHT, or I2P Peer Exchange.

This interoperability commonly referred to as Network Mixing, Mixed Torrents, or Cross-Seeding ensures seamless adoption without changes to existing BitTorrent workflows.

In addition to this, I2P never leaks your IP because everyone in the swarm sees I2P IP address and not your ISP IP address as shown in the images below.
