the site 404s.

here's my ¢2:

  • install i2p or i2pd
  • install qbittorent
  • enable i2p on qbittorrent (settings -> connections)
  • find the torrent you're looking for on postman tracker (on the installed i2p browser)
  • that's it!

If only it would be that easy... First hurdle there is no "enable i2p on qbittorrent" ! After searxing around and coming across the last comment of a reddit post (not even the official forum), you have to download qbitorrent with libtorrent 2.0.x series.

On the qbittorent download page chose the qbitorrent version corresponding to your system with lt20.

Don't make it sound I2P alongside qbitorrent is easy. It's not ! There isn't any proper tutorial on how to use i2p and eepsites in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing my part, but for newbies/newcomers this sounds like an "install/forget" situation while it isn't !

that's fair.

i have it set up on a headless server running alpine linux and it has libtorrent2 in its repos. i did exactly as i explained and got it workin, so i was assuming lots of things, apparently.
