I’ve finally installed the I2P (java) software, and even though I’m not actively using I2P yet, I’m very happy to contribute bandwidth to the network.
I’d like to understand more the difference between I2P and I2Pd. Is it just different software for the same purpose? So it seems from the FAQ here: “I2Pd is a C++ implementation of the I2P protocol. When using I2Pd you will need to edit configuration files, with Java I2P you can do it all within a user interface.”
I’d be happy to hear about user experiences on both. Was I2Pd much more difficult to set up? Is it more than just a software difference? Has anyone noticed better stability or other differences with either one?
Thanks for everone’s help! 🙏


Very informative for me, also the torrenting difference. Thank you so much! 🙏
