PSA: If you're going to write software for piracy, put it on I2P!
movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.
If you're a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!

Benefits of Tor over I2P: C, not Java (ewww)

Tor is being rewritten in Rust :3
How is that coming along?
idk really, this is the site of the project: https://arti.torproject.org/
It looks to be quite active. That's nice.

A lot of those advantages seem very... subjective. Peer-to-peer in itself doesn't have any advantage, but the comparison seems to be written by someone who thinks it does.
Purely because of the larger user base I would pick Tor over I2P in this scenario but for piracy in general I2P does seem like a much better fit. I do wonder how the situation will change if Veilid ever takes off, though.
i2p allows torrenting over it

I thought you asked about advantages/differences in general.

Is that the only advantage at this point? I feel like you'd have to be downloading/seeding some shady fucked up shit if just using a VPN isn't enough. Though maybe I'm thinking about this from the pov of someone who mostly leeches their torrents.
I2P is better for P2P stuff. TOR is not. If you are I2P you can also take advantage of anonymous torrents with qbittorrent or the builtin torrent client.
I have a few nodes and the CPU usage is minimal. But there's also a C++ implementation if you like that better.
