How do you use BiglyBT to discover I2P torrents from different trackers? I tend to just go to postman.i2p and discover torrents there, but I want a way to discover torrents using BiglyBT and I2P. I know that BiglyBT has DHT capabilities, does that work over the I2P network to discover torrents (Perhaps through Swarm Discovery?)

Any seasoned captains out there?

Hmm. I'm new enough that I don't know past trends, so possibly. How far in the past you mean?

It would be interesting, if there was some kind of metric of activity, to see what effect it had when qbittorrent added support. Unfortunately it's still very clucky and incomplete, but that's mostly on libtorrent as I understand. Sometimes I wonder how would it be if it worked better, with DHT support.
