"In theory, they can't know it directly, the network is designed to provide plausible deniability. But they can watch you (the next hop) and if it never changes, it's probably the endpoint, because tunnel hops are usually chosen semi-randomly." Thank you for the discuss-link and the quotat...

Thank you all for responding to my question. In order to improve my i2p torrenting performance, I reduced the number of hops to 1. So far, I think this improved my speeds a bit. However, as most people probably won't reduce the number of hops on their side, there will be still 4 hops in total betwee...

Would torrenting be safe enough if everyone uses only a 1 hop setting. As far as I understand this should be as safe as using a vpn on clearnet while allowing faster transfer speeds. The default of 3 hops on both sides (seeder/leecher) seems to be a complete overkill if you only want to avoid a lett...
