Why do they ban it?
Issue #1551
That links to a link to a forum with a ton of replies? Can you just copy paste the reason?
Took a quick look at the first few messages and the links: seems like BiglyBT is banned by a lot of private trackers because it's possible to mod it to spoof the numbers required to stay a member in the private tracker, while also being able to create a torrent file that allows others using the mod to utilize the private tracker without permission. Not sure if any of that functionality has to do with I2P.
Would that not be possible in every other client? Or is it just the easiest to do with BiglyBT?
You can mod any open source client to cheat but most of them don't give you buttons to do it.
