  • Anonymous File Transfer
    I2PSnark is integrated into I2P, providing anonymous, encrypted BitTorrent transfers. In addition, Sponge develops a bittorrent client called Robert written in Python. There is also a port of eMule to I2P called iMule [Needs developers!], an anonymous, secure implementation of a Gnutella network, accessible using I2Phex [maintained by Complication, seeking new developers!], and additional facilities including browser-based file hosting etc.
  • Anonymous Chat
    Start your IRC client (e.g. Chatzilla, Pidgin, XChat) - and connect to the server at 127.0.0.1 port 6668. You do not need to configure a proxy in your IRC client; I2P provides you with a local IRC tunnel (configured in your IRC client as an IRC server or remote host). Your local I2P IRC tunnel on localhost:6668 will direct you to one of two IRC servers hosted on I2P by Postman and Badger, but neither you nor they know where the other is, and your mom, ISP or government is unable to intercept your conversation! Once you're there, #i2p-help, #i2p, #i2p-chat and #i2p-dev are just a few of the available channels you may wish to /join. There's also an I2P-based instant messenger for unmonitorable and uncensorable anonymous chat, as well as Jabber servers, website-based chat etc.

  • Forums & Blogging
    Syndie is a distributed forum and blogging platform for I2P [Needs developers!]. There's also an I2P plugin port of the Java-based pebble blogging platform ported to I2P by zzz, available on i2plugins.i2p. And, of course, all normal blogging, forum and cms software will run over I2P, though you're advised to take extra precautions with security when setting up and to keep all associated software (e.g. Php, MySql, Python, Apache) up to date and locked-down! Also, there are quite a few forums running on I2P in various languages; see below for some suggestions.
  • Plugins for I2P
    Extend the usefulness of I2P by installing plugins& blogging, chatting, file sharing and other plugins have already been written or ported and await your installation! Browse the plugins and related info at i2plugins.i2p. If you're a developer, a complete language-agnostic framework for writing your own plugins is provided with documentation; I2P plugins can be coded in any language.

  • Verify Java is Up to Date
    Ensure your Java is up to date [version 1.6 recommended and required for some features]. If you don't have Java installed, you probably want some implementation of the JRE (Java Runtime Engine); if you're a developer, the SDK may also be of interest, and possibly Apache Ant which we use to build the I2P Java binaries.

  • Get Involved!
    I2P is developed and maintained mostly through unfunded, voluntary participation by community members. We're happy to accept donations, which go into essential hosting and administrative costs. We have cash bounties for aspects of I2P for developers looking for incentives to participate, and we're always looking for more Java coders, translators, promoters and users to help I2P grow. The bigger the I2P network, the more everyone benefits, so simply telling all your friends about I2P (and lending a hand with the installation and setup where needed) is a big help. For further info on how you can help visit the volunteers page on the website.
