I never even realized that Transmission doesn't support it. I just have I2P set up on my seedbox (but it typically requires root access, so unfortunately not everyone can replicate this). I would imagine it's pretty flaky on macOS though? I'm pretty sure the vast majority of I2P users run Linux, so the macOS client probably doesn't get as much development and attention.
I don’t know why i2p would be flaky on macOS. I run i2pd (hate Java) on Linux and macOS and it’s functionally the same.
That was just my assumption, because the modern macOS network stack is not exactly similar to Linux, so some changes would be required, and since it's not that widely used (at least in the I2P community) it wouldn't get tested and developed that much. But again, that was just my assumption.
As a former Java dev: Completely understandable. i2pd is the only I2P implementation I will ever touch, the Java client is just a buggy mess with bad performance.
