An open group of developers have created a full-fledged anonymous network with some
pretty neat capabilities. On top of this network, they provide an anonymous
BitTorrent (i.e. file transfer) P2P network.
"I2P is an anonymous network, exposing a simple layer that applications can use to
anonymously and securely send messages to each other. The network itself is strictly
message based (ala IP),
but there is a library available to allow reliable streaming communication on top
of it (ala TCP).
All communication is end to end encrypted (in total there are four layers of encryption
used when sending a message), and even the end points ("destinations") are cryptographic
identifiers (essentially a pair of public keys)."
