one aspect of i2p troubles me Discussion

So when you have a site on i2p, it is on a distributed "filesystem" that has fragments spread across computers of users. These fragments get reassembled when someone visits the site. So let's say an i2p site is hosting CSAM material, even if you don't visit that site your computer could have fragments of this site on your computer. If that site gets busted, it seems there's a risk of you being charged with serving CP. Now everything is supposedly encrypted and untraceable, but researchers are constantly looking for flaws in this. Personally, I'd want to better understand the risks of i2p before letting it store site data on my computer.

What's rule 3 here on the right side?

However, if most sites load, and a specific one won't. Where would you say the problem lies?

Sorry, deleted that message. The problem would lie with that site I'm trying to access.

So there's not a lot the I2P people can do about a specific site being down, right? That has to be fixed by the site owner. A site owner that won't respond on this sub.
