I have tried I2P, here is my take.

qBittorrent won't attempt to find any I2P peers unless you add I2P trackers to the torrents. 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
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.
It's not how I normally torrent but it does seem to work okay. I've been experimenting with cross-seeding public torrents into I2P via qBittorrent 5.x (just using I2P, not torrenting publicly / no mixed mode / no need for VPN).
I've only picked up a few peers needing torrents I cross seed that way but otherwise does seem to work. Mainly the test torrents seem to get more hits e.g. seeding Ubuntu Linux ISOs so other people can test their torrent I2P setups.
I will add that currently I2P torrenting is a bit limited since Libtorrent itself does not support DHT via I2P so torrent clients like qBittorrent won't either. You always need to add I2P trackers to your torrents if you intend to torrent within I2P using qBittorrent or any Libtorrent based client.
The only torrent client that has the ability to torrent via DHT on I2P is I2P's own built-in torrent client (i2psnark) but that client has a lot of its own limitations, it's hard to use it as a primary torrent client.
TG is down right now, the earlier post mentions it
Or do most people not put movies in actuall collection folders
That's possible.. I mean there's got to be people using collections the way you're trying to use them but generally speaking media apps like Kodi / Jellyfin / Plex /etc. are scanning movies as
root folder / movie name / movie file(s) or folder
so e.g.
c:\movies\Awesome.Movie.2024\Awesome.Movie.2024.mkv
c:\movies\Awesome.Movie.2024\Awesome.Movie.complete.bluray.2024\
Would be the typical scan folder structure.
That said I don't put stuff in collections the way you're describing so can't speak to how that should work but hopefully there's others here doing collections like that to comment on that.
Worst case you may want to hop into one of the Radarr support channels to ask there, I think(?) they have Discord support.
It already exists !usenet@lemmy.dbzer0.com
The tricky part is getting people to use it, for now most people seem to be fine using the general !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community even for usenet.
A new sub Reddit was created called /r/UsenetTalk and people are abandoning the old one.
It is not quite that new, the other sub has existed for a few years now. Its purpose is to discuss usenet / usenet providers without discussing indexers, automation, or anything like that.
In my opinion it is better to just move to Lemmy
Most of the peeps on Reddit don't seem to want to move but you can always point them to
!usenettalk@lemmy.sdf.org (if you want the Lemmy community of the same on the other site)
Personally I wouldn't push people to lemmy.world, the admins here have taken a hard stance against piracy related topics. Not sure if they will end up locking/deleting this community when they realize people may be using usenet to download more than linux isos :P
!usenettalk@lemmy.sdf.org if you want to stay within Lemmy.
dbzer0 has its own usenet community too !usenet@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Yup there's at least a few projects that can do in browser file transfer using WebRTC e.g.
https://github.com/kern/filepizza
And of course https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole (they used to have a website too but maybe that went away?)
That's sort of how I'm understanding it, they're talking about the build process specifically and want to re-base their toolset to BSD/Linux. Not sure what their current build process entails but like you said it could be they're currently stuck with some sort of proprietary / Apple specific software.
No display at all? I suspect something else is at play there...
On that model during bootup
F2 = BIOS
F10 = Boot Menu
You should be seeing something in the Boot Menu, or at least be able to get into the BIOS?
Also double-check the USB formatting, I don't remember if that NUC has UEFI boot support or if it needs to be enabled in the BIOS beforehand. e.g. if your USB is formatted to boot legacy then reformat it to boot in UEFI, or vice versa.
I actually have a few of those NUC models around but am not sure what it does exactly with no SSD, I think/thought it should still be able to handle USB boot in that situation.
The service seems kind of generic, maybe even worse than the other generic VPN services. No statements about what they log, whether they allow p2p, no mention of port forwarding, servers in only 5 countries which you may/may not want to VPN through, etc.
Not sure about the software, I guess they think it will be an improvement over OpenVPN/WireGuard which is debatable.
Interesting, not sure if it's actually active or just for testing. Seems to be a Lemmy software version behind.
Without any linked instances (http://kulervod.i2p/instances) can you even browse the rest of the Lemmyverse? Maybe this specific I2P instance is just meant to be tested/used on its own, disconnected from the rest of Lemmy.
EDIT: Being on I2P I guess it also seems to attract the expected trash users that gravitate to more anonymous social platforms judging from the test post/comment there.
Yup going to do that soon :)
Still on 4.x, bummer as I normally wait a while before doing major version software updates but it is what it is.
Has it been happening since qBittorrent 5.x ? Only reason I ask is that 5.0 did introduce a new feature per https://www.qbittorrent.org/news
FEATURE: Allow to move content files to Trash instead of deleting them (glassez)
Maybe double-check the qBittorrent settings and verify that isn't somehow enabled? I'm not on on that version yet so can't be sure how that new feature works or is configured.
If it's not that then I suspect the other comments are right e.g. a hardlinked file elsewhere would defintiely mean you need to delete all the hardlinks to actually free up space.
Is that one definitely scraping bittorrent DHT? From what I can tell it looks like it used for scraping IPFS DHT via HTTP. Been a bit since I tinkered with IPFS but I do know services exist to scrape the IPFS DHT, this might be one of the backend tools being used for that.
Not sure that is one of their official domains? https://solidtorrents.eu and https://solidtorrents.to seem to be up at the moment - but you're right their uptime has been spotty.
As an alternative you could always check if https://bitsearch.to is up, that site is run by the same admin and shares the same torrent database AFAIK.
I don't know if the site admin is around on Lemmy, they are (or used to be) on Reddit.
Looks like the block list itself is maintained here
Officially it won't work. It's impossible for qBittorrent to support DHT via I2P when Libtorrent itself does not support it. qBittorrent along with many other torrent clients are based on Libtorrent.

qBittorrent works well enough as long as you're adding I2P trackers to public torrents you want to find I2P peers with. It's not great but for now that may be the best solution aside from using I2PSnark (which like you said isn't that great).
