Recently mullvad stopped the port forwarding, are there some other trustworthy VPN to do Torrenting out there or others solutions to do torrenting with Mullvad?

I’m deeply sorry, but I had to mention i2p torrenting, it might become more popular soon.

Sidenote: I2P torrenting doesn’t require a vpn or port forwarding, and is indeed more private.

Can you elaborate on this, it’s the first time I’ve heard of I2P torrenting

It seems to be a special torrent client that work similar to tor (guessing with less hops though) and bounce encrypted traffic on special “i2p routers”. Not sure if they do the onion style encryption of thor.

Thanks, I’ll be looking it up on my free time.

For what it’s worth I’ve read that most torrenting hosts will be adding support for it (at least qbit has said)

I2P torrenting with a seedbox is the undeniable future. It will probably just take a year or so to reach critical mass. It’s slow now because a lack of mass.

The main relevant difference between I2P and Tor is that Tor runs on donated bandwidth and therefore can’t scale: the more it is used, the more volunteers are needed to donate bandwidth. Which is why they aren’t happy with people torrenting.

I2P is P2P so the more people use it, the faster it becomes. Which is why they really want people to use it for torrenting.

Why do you see i2p torrenting becoming popular? I think it’s probably too much hassle for 99% of people.

Once all major bittorrent clients support it with integrated I2P routers, the hassle is literally just checking a box, which will be on by default in many clients.

Remember when trackers were being taken down and we all switched to DHT/magnet? Same will happen if they go after VPN’s, we will switch to I2P. And it seems they are going after VPN’s.

Yes, I downloaded something recommended because I was curious and genuinely could not make heads or tails of what I was looking at. I’ve got about 4 pis and 80tb of storage kicking around, for context. Just noped out after a couple days
