Support for DHT and PEX with I2P

[jiigen]

https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent
Is there any ongoing work on those??

[Vort]

PEX have its own issue: #7269.
In this one it is better to focus on I2P DHT I think.

I'm not working on I2P support in DHT or PEX.
I suspect PEX is a lot less work to support.

[jiigen]

from https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent looks like i2p_pex is based on ut_pex as implemented in libtorrent so it should be really a lot less work. Anyway trackerless torrents with DHT should be a priority I guess, considering the p2p nature of I2P and stronger resistance to censorship (trackers can have their standard or taken down)

PEX have its own issue: #7269. In this one it is better to focus on I2P DHT I think.

Any update on this regard?

[absolutep]

Please, work on this if possible.

I2P Trackers is having issues connecting properly [with just http trackers]
