I can't seem to figure out i2p. I've tried installing the Linux pack but it didn't seem able to connect to the distro source the way the instructions showed.
Personally i use the i2pd router. There’s i2pd, which is implemented in c/c++, and the regular i2p router which is implemented in java.
There might be some settings you have to fiddle with to get it to run (i set upnp on so my router isn’t firewalled, which helps connect to more peers). I recommend this Mental Outlaw video

Next, to torrent you have to install i2psnark (there are some other options, such as qbittorrent and biglybt and stuff, but I haven’t figured those out yet). Here’s are binaries:

I2psnark requires i2cp, so just enable that in i2pd.conf. Then, ssh forward that on your pc if you installed it on another pc dedicated to running i2p. Running i2p for a long time helps with discovery; the longer you run it the more sites you’ll be able to visit and the faster they’ll load imo.
Did you let it run for a bit and configure your browser? Mental Outlaw has a good setup video.
If it's an issue with being unable to install i2p in the first place that's a separate matter
