I heard it was possible, with BiglyBT bridges, but I never used BiglyBT and can't get it to work.

I have

working i2p proxy
BiglyBT installed with i2p helper

I would have no problem with command line commands

The only way to access clearnet through i2p is exitproxy.

The plugin "I2P Helper" states

Provides connectivity via the I2P network. Supports downloading via the anonymous I2P network. This includes DHT support for decentralised tracking.

https://github.com/BiglySoftware/BiglyBT/wiki/I2P

The plugin allows to use I2P on biglyBT.

EDIT: Rather use Tor.

I would interpret your comment as telling me BiglyBT can download i2p torrents but not clearnet via i2p. What are they talking about there: https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/gl4339/can_you_use_regular_torrents_over_i2p/

I believe you can still download through i2p (route the clearnet torrent packets through the i2p network, obfuscating your ip address) using an outproxy (kind of like an exit node from Tor)
