The short answer is "you don't".

However, if you add a clearnet magnet link or infohash to I2PSnark, you may be surprised to find it downloads if enough BiglyBT or Azureus clients are sharing it over I2P and clearnet. The bigger the torrent swarm, the more chance there's an I2P-enabled client or 2 in there to download from.

I tried it a few times and was disappointed. I was trying to create future addresses, export them and get the message later. Paste bin! Even under the best circumstances did not work for me. I use PyBitmessage, Retroshare, and other you did not hear about anyway (DaveMail).

Sheesh, please bin the Nazis and racists into their own category, instead of "Adult/NSFW." Nazis are real boner-killers.

Ha, yeah... I wasn't quite for sure where to put them. But I figured labeling them NSFW was appropriate other than adding them under personal sites or services.

Reply to comment by XANA in New I2P router is going strong. by Rambler

It's a server on a shared 1Gbps port, but the output depends on the I2P network demand and how congested the port is with neighbors.

Right now I'm averaging about 13Mb/s constantly, which in the last 12 hours or so the minimum demand was 8Mb/s and the max being 20Mb/s.

But if I wget a speedtest file...

$ wget -O /dev/null http://mirror.leaseweb.com/speedtest/1000mb.bin

2020-12-20 10:41:06 (42.4 MB/s) - '/dev/null' saved [1000000000/1000000000]

Then I'm getting about 47Mb/s down while the router is still running/serving traffic.

Old server was 'faster' but I had monthly data caps and I never took advantage of the faster network anyway, I2P was never demanding enough to need to serve that much traffic at once:

If you're not running a repo or .deb installed version of I2P, or you're running I2P+, backing up your settings is as simple as copying the ~/.i2p/ directory to the new $HOME location, and if necessary, chowning it to ensure it's owned by the user account running I2P/I2P+ on the new server.

You can either move ~/.i2p/ to your home directory before you run I2P/I2P+ for the first time, or, if you've already run I2P/I2P+, delete the existing ~/.i2p/ directory and copy your backup there. All existing configs should be restored without issue.

You're probably running Ubuntu or Debian, right?

I'd shutdown the node and simply tar /var/lib/i2p/, install I2P on the new device, make sure it's off, rm -rf /var/lib/i2p, untar your backup archive and chown -R i2psvc /var/lib/i2p (change the owner to the i2p service). Then you can start i2p up again.

Never done that before, but I think that's they only state i2p stores.
