Setting up multi-homing now. I've got two routers in two different continents, so even if one router is down it should still be resolvable.

Aside from your recent downtime, things are pretty snappy now. That change was the right one to make.

Good!

Thanks to the magic of scripting and cron (and term99), we now have an update url for automated I2P+ dev build updates from within the console.

To enable updating with unsigned zip files, add the line: routerconsole.advanced=true to your router.config file located in your configuration directory (not the application dir) and then browse to http://127.0.0.1:7657/configupdate and add the following url to the "Update with unsigned development builds" section: http://skank.i2p/dev/i2pupdate.zip

Be sure to enable the option, then save, and then hit the "Check for updates" button. It may take a few tries before the proxy responds, and then you'll see an update notification in the sidebar (if a new update is available).

It's also recommended to set the update policy to "Notify only" to ensure you don't update with vanilla I2P releases, and can update at a time of your choosing.

If you'd prefer to update with release versions, the update url is: http://skank.i2p/i2pupdate.zip

Today, the site is far more responsive. Everything is "snappier." Pages are loading more quickly. Thank you!

Try now, see if there is any noticeable difference in performance on your end.

Thanks. I'm beginning to think it will be highly router dependent now.

When I connect through my high speed router that is very well integrated I'm getting clearnet responsiveness. Some regulars in the #saltr IRC chat stated the same, but they're connected 24/7 and, I assume, have routers that are also well integrated in the network.

Within the last day I setup another router and it's not integrated into the network very well yet. With that, I'm definitely experiencing some lag and sluggishness that isn't present with the other router. I don't run I2P locally because because I've got slow rural internet and a monthly data cap so I can't really leave the process running at home.

I'll continue to see what I can do on the I2P side of things to help make it snappier. I've got an idea that -may- help but I want to run it by someone more knowledgeable first, haha.

It's a bit annoying having to log in again when I use the b32 and an internal link makes me use the .i2p domain and I have to log in again. Speed-wise, it's acceptable. Slower than Tor for sure, but not unusable.

It may also be isolated to how well integrated your router is as well.

My main router is pretty well integrated and I'm getting clearnet level responsiveness when browsing the I2P site.

I switched to my router that's in a different continent that's been up less than a day and it's noticeably slower, though not annoyingly so.

I want to make sure it's available and responsive regardless of the network and access method so let me know if it continues.

Just as an initial observation, I've had a lot more time outs today and pages that would not load. Eventually they do but... I love this site so I spend a fair amount of time here so I'll be watching to see if this persists or if is just a today thing...

Are those issues still occurring for you? Let me know.

Runs pretty quick on my end, I'm pleased with it's load times.

Should be noted that I access this website from all the different networks and may spend a day or two only connecting to it over a particular one, so I don't immediately notice any degradation in performance.

So whether you're reading this from I2P, Loki, Yggdrasil, Tor or clearnet and things seem slower than usual... Just let me know and I'll see what can be done.

LoL,, we can combine if you want. I don't just run one :)

The I2P bandwidth dick wagging contest has begun... I've just deployed a new router in a new continent... She's getting integrated into the network now.

Can I just combine the numbers from my two routers to beat you? Haha.

I maintain a link list of my own at http://zli2qsg54w7y42vgw4xxlnj4nktcpg7xp33yjxkp33sjafvznbwa.b32.i2p/rollcall.html , if you want to steal expand your list :3

Hop on IRC and they'll help you optimize your I2P router as well. Main adjustments were made to router.config and to define variables that are otherwise automatically set.

Things like defining i2np.ntcp.maxConnections=XXXX and i2np.udp.maxConnections=XXXX and i2np.udp.maxConcurrentEstablish=XXXX played a big role on my end.

I also gave the JVM process a bit more memory to play with in wrapper.config and a few other things that I don't recall specifically.

What kind of optimisations are we talking here? I'm curious? Is this an entirely different router (i2pd?) or modifications in the standard java router?

My bad... I'm dumb. I2P+

First pictured downtime was moving my I2P+ router from one VPS provider to a new home with a better network. The other ones are just random router reboots from adjusting some settings.

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!

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.
