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?)
Currently not possible. Bitmagnet would need to have new code to be able to properly talk to the mainline java I2P service to enable DHT over I2P bittorrent. Or the Bitmagnet devs could develop their own I2P service to talk to the I2P network but that might be even more dev work.
DHT support requires SAM v3.3 PRIMARY and SUBSESSIONS for TCP and UDP over the same session. This will require substantial development effort on the client side, unless the client is written in Java. i2pd does not currently support SAM v3.3. libtorrent does not currently support SAM v3.3.

Shouldn’t it technically be possible to set this up with bitmagnet? Does anyone have experience with that?
