   qBittorrent v4.6.0 includes #I2P support

   ...and it just works! All I had to do is launch i2pd service, enable "I2P (experimental)" in qBittorrent's preferences and download a torrent file from http://tracker2.postman.i2p

     @silverpill this could be pretty huge if enough user opt in. how much is the speed overhead?

     @DarkMahesvara It is quite slow compared to clearnet, but not unbearable. I downloaded a 400 MB music album, it took approximately 1 hour with 4-6 seeds

     Feels like early 2000s and eMule

     @DarkMahesvara qBittorrent has an option called Mixed Mode which apparently lets you connect to both clearnet and i2p peers at the same time.

     @silverpill think it would be useful to have a per torrent option to enable I2P. here hoping in another 20 years we will have network speeds that make multi hop overhead minuscule

     @arcanicanis qbittorrent and i2pd are examples of good engineering. Each does one thing and does it well, and now we can combine them

     Oh neat, I think this makes using alternate I2P router implementations more practical as a result as well, given there's so much bundled in the Java implementation that makes it hard to replace.
