I2P, the invisible internet protocol allows for anonymous torrenting (getting movies, games, etc. without paying). It's fairly old and robust, but lacks actual people using it. Now a program that many people already use has included the option to use this.
This alone may increase the usage of this system, and make it more useful.

I wish it would be as easy to install as typing apt-get install i2pd and just answer a few questions. (Or even better, have it as advised package off qbittorrent)

I'll look into the script to see what it's doing before trying an install, but most users either blindly run the command or won't bother.

It is nearly that easy. You follow the instructions given https://geti2p.net/en/download/debian and have I2P running.

The steps are:

  1. install PPA (not uncommon OBS has the same installation method)
  2. apt-get install i2p i2p-keyring
  3. start i2p sudo dpkg-reconfigure i2p
  4. Open http://127.0.0.1:7657/ to configure i2p (optional)
