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?

Today I learned about the i2p project! Looking forward to trying this out. Sadly I have nothing to share to help answer, but thank you for raising your question

Welcome! I2p is a pretty cool project and it has way more uses than for torrenting, but i was drawn to it for that purpose when I started out.

I recommend using i2pd, a more performant and stable version, rewritten in C++, instead of the normal I2P client, which is written in Java and can sometimes have performance issues.
