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?

I mean piracy activity wise, it seems fairly head. maybe im just remembering differently since pirating was a bit less popular, but it feels like it was more healthy in the past.

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.

Well, tracker2.postman.i2p just told me upon loading it that it's under heavy load. In the past few days it seems to have a steady 1-2 dozen new torrents a day. The site has statistics but seemingly only for the past day, however this is roughly what I expected, or maybe less.

Im talking more about the total amount of users/swarm size. it didn't have much list I checked, aside from a couple really popular torrents hitting around maybe 2-3k peers.
