A proper VPN provider is sufficient to protect against this though. If you, as a Swedish citizen, weren’t already using a VPN, you were being an idiot.

A VPN company can easily give up your details to the police who are now actively going after citizens. VPNs are not enough anymore.
Is there a problem with I2P adoption? I’m sensing a massive lack of interest from this thread

A good VPN won’t have any details to hand over that will convict you, even if they wanted to (e.g. mullvad), so they most definitely are enough.
And police are not going after citizens, rights holder are (like they always have been) by using ISPs.

VPNs log your IP. And Mullvad doesn’t allow port-forwarding, which means you can’t seed.
Being a node for traffic doesn’t mean it can be linked to your identity, because everything is encrypted and metadata is scrambled. But if you think like that I suppose you aren’t very interested in running TOR relays or exits either.
I can’t convince you. I only hope that people start seeing the need for it and begin reading the documentation to see its strengths

No, I’m not at all interested in that either. I don’t want to risk any nefarious traffic that I have no control over running through my network.
I get the appeal of I2P and I can absolutely see the value it can bring. But as long as I will have to be a node for other random peoples traffic, I’ll pass.

I feel as though this take is fully fud. It sounds like a take that came from seeing tons of advertisements for vpns without really understanding how they work. Maybe I’m wrong about you. That said, in general, a VPN is not a great cloak for piracy.

If there was a completely zero percent risk that I would be used as a node for something truly horrible, I also wouldn’t mind. But I’d rather torrent with a slightly elevated risk rather than enabling things that should not be enabled. By torrenting with a VPN, at least j have the control over what happens on my network and exactly what data I’m part of sharing.

there is 0% risk until your country makes a law that prohibits any and all P2P communication. That would not only break torrents, but would thwart signal/telegram/whatsapp calls too, Jitsi meetings, probably google meet and zoom too, as all those use P2P traffic for performance.
So far there are only such laws in far east countries, and the official java I2P router is smart enough to not participate in routing when you are in such a place.
Also, I think for routing to work you need to open a port, without it that won’t be done.

I use Mulvad, and seeding seems to work for me. Am I missing something?

That shouldn’t be possible in theory unless I don’t know it well enough. Care to provide a screenshot?
