Is every shop just behind a paywall now?
While the torrent client included in the owntinfoil zip is open source, the two .exe's included are not, and he's actually violating the open source license for https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

GGn removing μTorrent from the client whitelist in 6 months
I wish some of the other BT clients took off besides the big 3 (Qbt, Deluge, Transmission and I guess rtorrent+rutorrent as well). There are some other simple BT clients out there that mimic early uTorrent GUI, one of the most notable was Hadouken, which was headless. It had a web UI that's reminiscent of uTorrent 2.0.4. https://github.com/hadouken/hadouken Sadly the project seems dead, as the last official release was in 2015. There's another minimal torrent client named Picotorrent available for Windows https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent, but I am not sure how well this works on heavy libraries, and I doubt many private trackers allow it because it's so niche. Another client I used to use back in the day was Halite, but that also died in 2015.

BitTorrent v2 (2020)
Not really true - v0.20 of PicoTorrent [1] was released the same day as libtorrent released support for v2 torrents. I think this predates BiglyBT 2.5 with v2 [2] support with about two weeks.

TabFS – a browser extension that mounts the browser tabs as a filesystem
Something in a similar vein: BTFS, mount a torrent file (or magnet link) as a read only drive https://github.com/johang/btfs

BiglyBT is a feature filled, open source, ad-free, BitTorrent client
Some systems are more appropriate than just those options, but it requires player cooperation.
For instance on Android, NOVA Video Player supports torrent streaming. Or btplay from https://github.com/johang/btfs .
The way they work is better for the network, because it asks only for the N next MB from current position to be available ASAP, but the rest can be downloaded randomly to help the network like a standard client would do.
