Is it possible to cross-seed from clearnet to i2p via qbittorrent? are there any tutorials out there?

I was only able to find older tutorials for BiglyBT. Is it the same process?

    Yup totally possible. You need i2p running with a SAM bridge. Last time I checked there are two releases of qbittorrent, one supports mixed mode for i2p. I believe it is the one that says lt20. Check the box in settings for i2p and mixed mode, set the IP and port for your I2P SAM bridge, auto add i2p trackers and you’ll be cross seeding.

      Just to make sure I got it right:

      Check the box in settings for i2p and mixed mode,

      done

      set the IP and port for your I2P SAM bridge

      I have SAM enabled on i2pd

      I believe it is the same as described in this tutorial, right?

      Step 6: While qBittorrent v4.6.x supports I2P, the Web-UI does not have the options to set the I2P settings yet, as of v4.6.0 release. So we have to do it manually by editing the qBittorrent.conf.

      Session\I2P\Address=127.0.0.1, this points to the IP address of the I2P router (w/ SAM enabled) you want to use Session\I2P\Enabled=true, this enables I2P torrenting Session\I2P\MixedMode=true, this sets whether you want qBittorrent to use clearnet + I2P (MixedMode=true), or just I2P (

      auto add i2p trackers and you’ll be cross seeding

      Could you clarify this part? Would it be by adding the Tracker List of the tutorial above to qbittorrent options > bittorrent > check “Automatically append these trackers to new downloads” and paste the list?

        Qbittorrent version 5.0+ has the settings in the web-ui so if you are setting it there you can ignore that part of your tutorial where it says to use qbittorrrent.conf (its the same).

        You are correct about automatically appending trackers.

        To verify its working you should be able to add a new torrent, look at its trackers and see the new .i2p trackers added. They can be a little slow to connect initially.
