It has Tor integration out of the box (obviously I haven't audited it, but in theory that's enough).

Don't use Tor for torrenting! [1] The network is not meant for providing fast downloads, it's there for providing anonymity. There is no reason to effectively DoS the network and get crappy speeds when you can simply pay a few bucks a month for a VPN that supports port forwarding.

Yeah no torrenting is done over Tor here :) It's worth mentioning that ever since ZeroNet gained its BigFiles plugin, you can directly stream and watch the videos on ZeroNet. Just that nobody has made a nice interface for it yet.

There's sites like [KopyKate](https://zn.amorgan.xyz/big.kopykate.bit/), but they've sort of fallen downhill as the dev has stopped updating it.

Not for torrenting, for accessing/delivering ZeroNet sites over. (i.e. connecting to the torrent tracker to get the magnet in the first place).
