I2P is a decentralized privacy overlay network, much like Tor, except it is much better suited for use by P2P and Torrent apps.

Tixati is now capable of torrenting over I2P, using an external I2P client of your choice.  This feature can be activated from Settings > I2P.


You can download a fairly simple I2P client called i2pd.  It's website is https://i2pd.website/.  We don't have anything to do with it's development, so do your own due diligence before installing it.  The original I2P client (Java-based) is available from https://geti2p.net/en/.  There are also other clients available, easily findable using any search engine.

Tixati connects to your local I2P client over the local loopback 127.0.0.1 interface using the SAM v3 protocol, which is much like a traditional proxy protocol.

Individual transfers can be configured to use I2P, regular internet, or both, by right-clicking and using the Networks submenu.


You can configure the default mode by right-clicking the Add button in the top-left corner of the main transfers window, or by using a button at the bottom of the transfer loading window.


Tixati also has a special I2P tracker injection feature, which uses a list of I2P trackers configured in Settings > I2P that are put into transfers when I2P is selected.  This list can be accessed within the I2P settings window.


Unfortunately there is no DHT operating over I2P yet, so trackers are currently the only way to find other I2P peers.
