After that it’s hit or miss similar to public torrents. These are working public trackers in I2P that I know of: http://w7tpbzncbcocrqtwwm3nezhnnsw4ozadvi2hmvzdhrqzfxfum7wa.b32.i2p/a http://opentracker.skank.i2p/a http://opentracker.r4sas.i2p/a http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/a This tracker is also in I2P but it only tracks torrents registered at their site: http://tracker2.postman.i2p/announce.php only i2psnark, but i2psnark is an awful client. Agreed. On the upside it’s been around much longer for torrenting within I2P so I suspect a lot of I2P users just have that set up for torrenting purposes and that’s how it’s been for years.
