  1. My sister thought my father would like the new #Matlock #TV series, so I've been #torrenting episodes and letting him watch them the next day.

    Now because the show is on #broadcast #television, there's no new episode this week or next. It will come back for two episodes, then take a break again. My father wasn't happy. This is one of the reasons #LinearTV is losing viewers.

  2. A study of #I2P network's resistance to #censorship:

    What has been your experience? Were you able to find everything you needed on the I2P network? Did you have any problems communicating over protocols, like #XMPP for example while using the I2P network? Were you able to successfully share important files over the #torrenting application #i2psnark? ***

    We prefer #I2PSnark or #BiglyBT.

    In our opinion, #I2P is the only internet that should be used for most everything, but especially #torrenting.

    Great question. One thing you'll notice fairly quickly is that #I2P makes everyone a #fullNode basically out of the box, this makes it more decentralised. With Tor a person needs to go out of their way to become a relay.

    Second major difference is I2P is not designed to access the clearnet at all (strictly speaking you can via an I2P service), but #eepsites instead. Eg. site.i2p. It doesn't replace Tor, per se.

    Third, it love traffic and #torrenting via #I2PSnark and other clients.

  5. CW: Cheap VPN services for intranets?

    @rick_777
    Use a #TorHiddenService, you get free #DNS, free #encryption and its #private. Use #I2P if you also want to do #filesharing, over their #torrenting service, #I2PSnark

    Also you will help to save oppressed people and journalists around while you use these. Quintriple win.
