I would also suggest that users add my hosts.txt file.

http://notbob.i2p/hosts.txt

Or if you are feeling brave I also have a list of every host I have ever found.

http://notbob.i2p/hosts-all.txt

Note that these are automaticity generated from ongoing scans of the network and only include alive hosts. If a host has been dead too long it gets removed from the list.

You can see the full details at http://notbob.i2p

Ah, hell. Even the only outproxy worth a damn isn't in the default subscription list: purokishi.i2p

I've been advertising this site (ramble.i2p) and getting people to join and check out the I2P network without realizing they can't access this site and suggesting purokishi.i2p as their outproxy when they complain about the slow false.i2p default outproxy without realizing neither are accessible out of the box.

Glad I did a default vanilla install to test something out as a brand new user and realized this.

Is there a reason why you have to do register your domain in different locations to be on different subscription list (and wait days) and why the default one can't just include everything by default? Seems like it'd be a lot more user friendly that way, considering you can spin up a .onion domain in seconds, the same with a Loki or Yggdrasil address.

I like I2P a lot and want to see it grow but I didn't quite realize the shortcomings of the default, vanilla product.

The vanilla help/documentation states:

Speaking of address book updates, this would be a good time to add some more addressbooks to your own subscription list. Go to your Subscriptions Configuration page and add one or more for an automatically updated list of new hosts:

http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/newhosts.txt (stats.i2p)
http://no.i2p/export/alive-hosts.txt (no.i2p)

Why not just include them by default instead of recommending them? That would add functionality and access out of the box.

Awesome!

For the latest development update: https://gitlab.com/i2pplus/I2P.Plus/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/i2pupdate.zip?job=Java8

The url will return the most recently built update, automated by gitlab when changes are pushed to the repository.

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.

That's awesome. Thanks so much. It's a wonder that Bote works on mobile but disappointing that it no longer works on the desktop.

I've replied to your message.

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).

Thanks.

Ye sure we can test :)

Don't. It's not good for the network and it's not good for the people who run exit nodes. Just don't do it.

Maybe I should try it out when I have something I need again 🤔

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.

I'm not entirely sure, so but I dropped the link to this thread in IRC so perhaps you'll get an answer soon.

Yeah, it's similar. Though, it's just a file sharing program. Nothing amazing at this point. But, it does work and it's i2p specific. It's likely got the most files of any of the i2p file sharing programs out there.

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...

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:

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

What speed do you get?

That did the trick, thanks bud.

Now on a better (less congested) network with no monthly data-cap.

Those directories are non-existent. Anything I2P related is all under /home/user/i2p/

I'll try the method /u/z3d mentioned and report back.

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.

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl.

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.

Does it bring back LimeWire, Napster, Kazaa, WinMX, etc. vibes?

Are there any bugs you've encountered?

You can also use putty to SSH tunnel :)
