When downloading a clearnet torrent, what does the I2P peer look like to the clearnet peers?
Is there any possibility of the I2P user being unmasked?
Is there any difference in security or anonymity between a mirrored torrent downloaded and started from a Postman torrent file, or started by a magnet link from a clearnet tracker?

Re: Anonymity of clearnet mirrored torrents
Hi
you cannot download clearnet torrents with I2P..
So either:
- clearnet, and all visible as always
or
- I2P, and all runs through I2P and no IP addresses involved in process, just I2P destinations
Some client do provide the function to use both ways at once. Either way has the limits as written above.
Clearnet magnet links may work in I2P as long as someone has the same torrent active inside I2P.
