We are currently comparing the use of these three client software to make torrent exchange in I2P and to ensure the anonymity of the user who uses it.
I don't think for myself because I run about thirty BiglyBT instances, but I was forced to customize these instances to be only in I2P. But if I'm thinking of a new user who doesn't know this software well and I'm comparing it to I2PSnark and qBitTorrent, it's prudent to warn that simply activate the plugin "i2phelper" and deselect all networks except I2P is not enough, even if your torrents are only for I2P trackers.
And although I've been looking at BiglyBT's official website, I can't find a guide to help a new user use the software with safe I2P. And I maintain that if I'm in I2P only with external I2P router and it opens up uPnP, it's not a desirable behavior.
How is I2PSNARK 2.8 performing in comparison to BiglyBT or qBitTorrent?
Re: How is I2PSNARK 2.8 performing in comparison to BiglyBT or qBitTorrent?
something that wasn't intuitive to me when i did this for the first time is that plugins like "mainline dht" and "distributed database" are NOT needed for i2p, only for clearnet. the i2p helper plugin use their own version of dht, you literally do need to disable everything like was said for it to be clearnet silent.
worth noting that the bigly webui client you should be careful about, as we have potentially deanonned some users like this recently to see if you could. just make sure it's behind an auth, as far as i know if you enable the webui and i2p helper plugin it will make a separate tunnel on i2p for it. I don't know of a way to disable this other than disabling the plugin entirely.
If you don't put an auth up at the very least, it can be located and anyone can force the client to add torrents. so i can add torrents using a clearnet tracker address i control and if your bigly can access the clearnet I harvest your ip that way.
