One of the great weaknesses of torrents (and filesharing systems in
   general ) is the lack of mechanisms to promote persistence. That's why
   a group of us (including Bram Cohen, BitTorrent and Bryce
   Wilcox-O'Hearn (Zooko), Tahoe-LAFS, MNET, ZCash) created Mojo Nation.
   Unfortunately, Mojo failed to get follow-on funding due to Napster.
   Fortunately, the idea of a publishing model (vs. filesharing), with an
   internal reward system for persistence, was independently re-discovered
   by MaidSafe, IPFS and ZeroNet. I hope at least one succeeds.

     i2p can be called "a functional darknet torrent system," in that the
     large majority of traffic crossing that network is torrents.  The
     i2p
     package includes the router, a browser based torrent client and a
     simple
     web server.  The two biggest trackers on i2p are Postman and
     Difftracker, both are stable with good uptimes.  I was pleased to
     note
     on my last visit that some files I seeded and promoted there about
     five
     years ago are still available.
     I got my copy of The President's Analyst ages ago, I would seed it
     but
     alas, my poor overworked computer can't afford the cycles to run i2p
     alongside all the other crap I am using it for:  Graphics and video
     editing, etc.  A more "normal" user won't see a performance hit from
     i2p
     unless the system they run it on is already overstressed.
