I wanted to gauge interest in Tribler. It claims to be a tor-like p2p client created by privacy researchers. Has anyone had experience with Tribler? Did you get any takedown notices? What were speeds like?

I sorta don’t get it. Aren’t torrents sorta the original peer to peer thing to begin with?
Torrents are p2p and can be encrypted but aren’t anonymous. Tribler claims to be tor-like and no trust needed i.e. anonymous.
I’ve tried it before, the speeds are abysmal to the point of being unusable. It took me 3 days to download something that was only 50mb when I last tried it.
Assuming it does use tor: who would’ve guessed?
It’s not tor, it’s supposed to be it’s own anonymizing network since tor doesn’t support UDP or something.
