Odd. I looked at the description on the main page, and it lists eDonkey, BitTorrent, and Gnutella, but not any kind of direct file transfer.

Am I missing something?




yes.

1. click bit torrent 2. click create torrent 3. type the path to your file 4. share magnet link

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d0da0a2cac2bb3fd7ba6548edef12a24122ef481&tr=http://diftracker.i2p/announce.php


Does the magnet link work without DifTracker? Because that's still a centralized system.


yes, the tracker is optional. the built in torrent client supports BEP 5.
