I2P support anonymous torrents

TOR is good for direct downloads (DDL)

Controversial take: TOR shouldn't be used to download large amounts of pirates stuff. The network is already slow and congested and should be kept available for people that need it to fight censorship or other forms of oppression.

Why not get a VPN? Even a free one like Proton allows DDL and gives you protection. And it's also faster.

TOR needs to have a lot of 'background noise' legit use, otherwise the folks needing to hide in the weeds stick out like a sore thumb.
