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?

What's with "anymore"? It's still actively developed, there are regular releases of both the original Java I2P router and the 3rd party C++ router, if you mean that.

If you mean that it lacks content, please do upload there if you have something. If you already have the content on disk, it should only really take effort while you're just starting to create torrents.

Don't forget that

I2P is the only semi-popular mixnet that's suitable for torrents
nobody will know it's you who are uploading, so unless you upload info about yourself or you're living in an extremely nonfree country (in which case the Java based router will set itself to restricted mode), you can't really get into trouble for that
