Hi, does anyone here use i2psnark or something for I2P torrenting?

What I am wondering is that max tunnel quantity is 16, right?

But torrenting benefits from multiple tunnels, right?

Doesn't this limit torrenting A LOT?

Default tunnels quantity is five. Speed of downloading is depenced only from amount of peers (peoples with them routers)

I don't use i2psnark, I use qBittorrent, and the default is 3/3

What does tunnels mean in torrenting? Each peer gets a tunnel?

I think it is downloading torrents faster with more tunnel quantity
Leopold
3 tunnels for each p2p connection, 2 tunnels are ready to be broken if someone's router will be shutten down. Data is just mirroring as i understand

it's only 3 or 5 probably because a) it's mirroring or b) it's better for some reason? maybe bandwidth?

We'll see if someone responds in #en

yeah for sure up to a point more tunnels can divide the bandwidth up bc each tunnel is only as fast as the slowest link in the chain
cumlord
you can run multiple instances/routers to get more tunnels but imo diminishing returns past 10 tunnels unless its a large swarm
