>decide to try out I2P for the hell of it
>download speeds top out at 25 KB/s
>it isn't abnormal to have download speeds drop to 16 KB/s or sometimes below 7 KB/s
>despite this, developers of websites made to be viewed over I2P insist on modern styled sites including megabytes of oversized images that need to be scaled down for the page, resulting in their sites taking minutes to load
>the only torrents available for the anime I used as a test are 1080p resulting in 500+ MB episodes and seasons that can take a week to download, and that's if you can keep a constant good connection instead of dropping to an average download speed of 1.2 KB/s over the past 13 hours
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Why isn't shit on I2P designed to actually be usable on the low bandwidth connection that the network provides?

It's designed for anonymity, not speed.

Pic related is for anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating about the torrent speeds.

That doesn't mean that the sites on the network can't be optimized for the lower download speeds. Using a ton of 1080x600 images that are then scaled down to 540x300 on a site that's intended to be loaded over a very low bandwidth connection makes no sense whatsoever.

People forgot how to make websites.

You can adjust torrent speeds in control panel. Much faster, but still too slow.

>>59958449
I already set the available bandwidth just a bit below what my total usable bandwidth is.
>>
>>59957821
It's gets faster once you get "deeper"(don't remember the right word) in the network.
Getting "deeper" means being connected for a longer period.

I was connected for 16 hours with no noticeable improvements before I gave up on the torrent and shut down my client. The anime I tried to torrent was actually downloading faster during the first couple hours than it was at any time after that.

not op but that's bull shit.

my nigga
I think the problem is there isn't enough peers in the network, which is the reason why data can't be routed to you faster.

Strange. I never used it much and don't really remember much of the protocol.
Try turning it off and on again? kek
Everyone is a relay and a client, its not unusual to ISPs to provide very low upload width, you might have got a bar node.

The more important question is, why aren't anonymizers designed with multiple levels of anonymization instead of enforcing tinfoil-level on everything
>>59959677
There aren't enough torrent peers seeding that, because why would anybody do that for an horriblesubs tv pack which is widely availabe on clearnet?
>>59959511
>>59959692
I2P is designed to better handle peer joining, a full router (not needed for downloading stuff) starts getting connections within minutes compared to days/weeks for TOR
Also at first startup it downloads an updated database of peers for bootstrapping

What do you mean? The Tor Browser Bundle has preset security levels for you to choose from and I2P even allows you to change the length of the tunnels you use in the settings. How much more than that do you want?

Those presets are mostly about browser security, as targeted by 3 letter agencies.
I was referring more to filesharing, where not impacting much performance could be used to gain traction, to get more nodes.
