How can you share something so that it won't be traced back to you? (lemmy.ml)

I want to give something back to the community and I was wondering if there was any way to share a file (to pirates) so that it won't be traced back to me? What precautions should I take? Is there metadata attached to the file? How does your computer remember a modification date and date create, is it embedded into it?

I am talking about audiobooks btw, I have downloaded a ton of audiobooks and I want to send it somewhere where others can download it for free after an internet search. So yeah, I do want to make it untraceable. But for this scenario, you are free to assume that I have the nuclear codes or a new virus genome (I wonder which one is deadlier)

Depends on the setup. If you use a client that is strictly i2p such as i2p snark then you would only share to other i2p peers but if you were using a client that shared to both i2p and clearnet then It would work but you would need a VPN for your clearnet traffic.

It is a more complex setup in that case. I would suggest to just use one or the other to keep it simple. At the end of the day if we're talking about filesharing and not robbing the Louvre or government leaks then a VPN or i2p is sufficient.

But, if I use a i2p only client and someone who has a client that does both leeches then they would seed to the clearnet too right?
