Indeed, with rapidshare, you can still easily be 'sold out' when the French government requests IPs from the rapidshare hosts.

By the way, we're already noticing the effect on I2P. The new router count is getting a huge boost today.

Unlike with Tor, each user is a router (especially true for high-bandwidth users). Obviously people are not a router to the regular net (as that could get people in trouble), but all users route data through the I2P network itself.
In other words, if you want high-bandwidth bittorrenting, it helps a lot to contribute bandwidth yourself (makes you well-integrated). This keeps leechers to a slightly lower level.
Secondly, as torrents consume a lot of bandwidth, they also provide cover traffic for other people who might not more anonymity.

Yes, it would make a useful addition (lots of things would :P). We just need someone to set it up and it'll be there.

The fail is in fact on nobodies end. The reason https is 'not supported' is simply because nobody has set up an outproxy for it. If somebody does set up one, you will be able to use https.

It's the Anonymous network dance!

You can share if you want to
You can slow down to a crawl
But at least you will be safe
Sixty-five kay in a cave
But detection chance is small!

CLI: Command-Line Interface That includes CLUI's ;-)

This one is obviously real. Bow to the superiority of CLI browsers!
Oh, time to go. Ctrl+A D

Wait. We're supposed to dare to click on that link? Damn you, April 1st!
Hm, perhaps that can be an achievement: dared to click a link resemblin goatse.

Comcast is a cable company, right? So isn't this just because their VoIP can be put in a separate Docsis channel (and prioritised accordingly), while 'regular' VoIP is sent as normal data?
