I wish I could say the same, but every time I've tried I2P, I have come away incredibly disappointed. And this was after several times, over like a year time span of trying it.
My main use case is that I want to synchronize my Monero wallet with my Monero node, and on Tor, I get 5 MBPS. On I2P, I get 40 KBPS.
I could possibly shorten my I2P tunnels to one-hop tunnels, but then that completely kills the privacy of using I2P, which I don't want to do. Especially not when I can get 5 Mbps through Tor, where I've got the six hops between the client and the server.
