Sharing already downloaded torrents through i2p (transmission --> XD)?

I have lots of torrents downloaded through transmission, which I would like to continue seeding through i2p via the XD client, without having to re-download the files. How do I “move” my seeding to i2p? Do I have to upload the torrents to an i2p torrent tracker, or can I avoid that?

Would you recommend this in the first place?

Sorry for the stupid question folks, help is appreciated, even if not specific to these clients. Thanks in advance!

There are open trackers on I2P e.g http://opentracker.skank.i2p/ and http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/ both trackers don’t have a search interface though, so probably people won’t find your torrents unless they are very popular. You can upload the torrents to http://tracker2.postman.i2p which has a good interface.

Doing so would help with the download speeds for other users.

P.S I’ve enever used XD. So I can’t help you out there, but it seems like a very bare-bones torrent client. qbittorrent recently added support for it but if you’re running a headless server, XD doesn’t seem like a bad option. Github says it has no DHT support? Not sure if that’s the best option, but good luck with it.

potosi OP ,

I’ll try qbittorrent too, just I was attracted to XD as it only supports i2p and it therefore claims it can have no ip leaks (ik that probably doesn’t mean qbittorrent is insecure). I guess the only way would be to upload to the torrent tracker, thanks!

qbittorrent’s wiki says:

If you’re using VPN, proxy or I2P, you probably want to enable Anonymous Mode.

Good luck!

If you can find the same torrent already existing, you should be able to add the torrent, paused, then copy the file to the empty folder. Force a recheck and then it should hash check the files.

Not specific to XD as I dont use it, but has worked for me when changing trackers. I havnt tried when downloading over different protocols, but it should not make a difference.

Yeah the thing is that transmission sadly does not support using a proxy (therefore no i2p/changing to i2p trackers) so that sadly would not work (except if I got it wrong). Adding the torrent link as-is would not work through an i2p client as it only supports torrents inside the i2p network, and the torrents I have are from clearnet (can I add the torrent file, though?). Sorry if I do not make any sense, but thanks I’ll try it out anyway!
