I used i2p from InviZible Pro (F-Droid).

I was trying to connect my Monero wallet to a Monero RPC Damon that somebody I know runs and while it did connect the absolute best speed I could ever achieve through it was 45KiB/s. I changed no settings at all and just used the defaults. Turned it on and had 33 client tunnels.

Tor usually gets me ~400KiB/s to the hs, but i thought i2p would be faster.

Edit: it used 2 hops as default and i left it that way.

I didn't see anything about tunnel quantity, specifically for the socks proxy. I did see something about it for HTTP, but I'm not using HTTP.

[httpproxy]
enabled = true
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 4444
inbound.length = 1
inbound.quantity = 5
outbound.length = 1
outbound.quantity = 5
signaturetype=7
i2cp.leaseSetType=3
i2cp.leaseSetEncType=0,4
keys = proxy-keys.dat
addresshelper = true
#outproxy = http://false.i2p
## httpproxy section also accepts I2CP parameters, like "inbound.length" etc.

[socksproxy]
enabled = true
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 4447
keys = socks-proxy-keys.dat
#outproxy.enabled = false
#outproxy = 127.0.0.1
#outproxyport = 9050
##socksproxy section also accepts I2CP parameters, like inbound.length etc

However, since that socks proxy section says that it takes I2CP commands, I wonder if I could just paste the info from the HTTP part above.

Yes, you can take the quantity and length options from the http proxy and just paste it into the socks proxy section, I think tunnel quantity can go up to 16, I recommend 8 for high bandwidth stuff like torrenting, but it will use more CPU and battery, but lowering length from the default of 3 to 1 should help a lot.

I got no help from that whatsoever. It's still extremely slow even after letting my clients sit there and integrate for over 30 minutes and seeing over a thousand routers.

Idk then, I've easily gotten speeds of upto 1.2 MiB/s while torrenting, uploading and downloading, I just downloaded a book from a webserver with wget to test my speed through the HTTP proxy, and I got about 150-300 KB/s throughout the whole transfer, I'm using the default settings of 3 hops, and my router isnt firewalled, no clue what the servers settings are.
