https://geti2p.net/en/download for the java version, which comes with extra apps. Otherwise, you can go to https://i2pd.website/ for the C++ version which is much lighter and you can just point your browser/torrent clients at the i2p router and you are good to go.
Then you can register a "domain" on reg.i2p with something like yourname.i2p as well.
You can try using BiglyBT on android following these instructions: https://github.com/BiglySoftware/BiglyBT/wiki/I2P#user-content-biglybt-i2p-and-android
Otherwise, I'd suggest using a desktop to run i2psnark, BiglyBT, or qBittorrent and use i2pd along with those clients.

This is a little guide to show you how to setup a small container dedicated to an i2p router such as i2pd. This allows for a central router for all your clients on your LAN for example.
--- Read the guide
You can use one i2pd router for many clients/services, as long as your device can handle it.

Good write-up from the I2P team on this topic. Page includes other attack vectors as well.
This is a good point. I also feel like private trackers are meant for people who actually seed content they download, and just have good intentions to help share content. This also comes with hardware requirements (disk space) sometimes that not everyone has.
It would be nice to have qBittorrent auto add I2P trackers to all torrents to help cross-seed them.
I'll check out MuWire, was unaware that it used DHT.
Also, I am just saying that tracker2.postman.i2p is the only torrent directory we have currently, and its best way to find and advertise torrents for others. Trackers (where your client announces to) are helpful to finding peers of the same torrent.
Here is an ansible role you can use to deploy i2pd to linux servers and such: https://codeberg.org/systemfailure.net/ansible_i2pd. Otherwise, on most distros the i2pd package should be able to be installed from the package managers in the terminal.
What I mean is if I create a new torrent of Big Buck Bunny with a InfoHash of b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184 for example, no one will find my torrent by searching for "Big Buck Bunny". Unless I post this hash somewhere, advertising "Hey, this torrent is Big Buck Bunny" like what 1337x and other torrent sites do, you won't "find" it. Basically, we have to use a torrent indexer like tracker2.postman.i2p to search the metadata and find torrents we want. If that makes sense.
Yes, I did exactly this when I2P support was first in beta. I have a docker stack with Gluetun as my network for all my *arr containers and I was able to still point my qBittorrent to my i2pd router and it worked just fine.
It is experimental indeed. While it "works", it is no where near the reliability and efficiency of other I2P torrent clients like I2Psnark or BiglyBT, both of which are Java based.
The most known outproxy: https://stormycloud.org/i2p-outproxy/
That is the lacking area. There needs to be a development in the area of DHT crawlers and indexers to help find torrents on I2P like how btdigg works, but for I2P torrents. Hopefully one day.
Yes, absolutely. I have a VPS that runs a i2pd router and I can set my clients to point to my VPS and I am able to use the I2P network. In doing so, I had to make sure I forwarded the correct ports on my VPS so that it would reach the i2pd application. I will do a write up soon.
You can cross-seed torrents by adding I2P trackers to the tracker list. What helps is when you upload the .torrent file to tracker2.postman.i2p (the only? i2p public torrent tracker) so that others can find the magnet/torrent link and start downloading. That way people can find the InfoHash and also have trackers embedded in the i2p .torrent file to allow you to find seeders.
Some info on this subject: https://old.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/xfqvap/how_to_correctly_cross_seed_to_make_clearnet/
From my experience, some popular I2P torrents have gotten up to 1 MB/s download, but I usually average around 200 KB/s. While it is not blazing fast, it does provide a good deal of anonymity for everyone involved with the torrent.
Also, you can lower the anonymity and increase speeds by reducing the number of hops from 3 to 2 or 1. You can choose how "anonymous" you'd like to be while torrenting, at the cost of speed.

You can install i2pd with sudo apt install i2pd and then point your services towards your i2p router (Ex. 127.0.0.1) and you are good to go.
What @supervent@lemmy.dbzer0.com said. Basically you get access to the I2P network (overlay on top of the regular internet) that provides anonymity and doesn't require any port forwarding. Thus, this allows every user to seed torrents without worrying about opening ports or getting letters in the mail.
The torrent space on I2P is still growing, there are some chads cross-seeding to the I2P network allowing for torrenting popular torrents over I2P.

Why?
I am a qBittorrent user and wanted to start downloading and cross-seeding torrents with I2P, so I built this image as a drop in replacement of my linuxserver/qbittorrent docker container and it just works.
Why don't you post the docker image?
I am not sure how yet, and I also left it as a Dockerfile so that you can build this on ARM or x86-64 depending on your needs
Note
This image can be quite heavy and take a long time to build, but until v4.6.x is out of beta, this will do.
