I wonder why i2pd has a lower rate than i2p+. Does it just have a different way of evaluating that metric?

I'm continuing to experiment with this and torrents. I migrated it back to my server and tried taking it out of the container since I was running the container rootless when I first tried it there. rootless podman containers supposedly have issues with UDP connections. The torrenting speed in qbittorrent and snark are a little better, but still topping out at only about 200k so there's still more room for tweaking here.

Right now, things seem more stable with I2P+ than I2PD, but I'm blaming that squarely on my own ignorance in how to properly tune this setup.

I'm really excited to see how that emissary project grows too, but I'm not sure I trust it just yet. I'm going to wait for others who actually know what they are doing to vet the project as well as SSU2 support to finish before I give it a try.
