The info hash shouldn't change as per spec.

info_hash

The 20 byte sha1 hash of the bencoded form of the info value from the metainfo file. This value will almost certainly have to be escaped.

The info value is a separate key of a torrent file

metainfo files

Metainfo files (also known as .torrent files) are bencoded dictionaries with the following keys:

announce
The URL of the tracker.
info
This maps to a dictionary, with keys described below.

The info dictionary does not include the list of trackers, therefore the infohash shouldn't change.

The most likely reason your torrent stalls when running in I2P mode is probably that it doesn't exist on the tracker.

I stand corrected, thank you. I'll have to try that out.
