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

Anyone have any experience with writing their own torrent client?
You can look the code of PicoTorrent, is a clean and small client (based on libtorrent too) : 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.

Banned from Pixel Shop? No idea what happened.
It is surprisingly easy to run ownfoil especially if you can already set up Dockers.

Is every shop just behind a paywall now?
Do yourself a favor and grab a versatile torrent downloader like https://github.com/autobrr/autobrr and then host your local shop with an open-source indexer like https://github.com/a1ex4/ownfoil or any of the applications listed on that github page.

Best way to install backup from NAS ?
Have you looked into Ownfoil? It’s a local Tinfoil server that you host via docker container. You set it up and point tinfoil to it. It can host your backups and you even auto back up your saves.

Outsider here - Why are shops a thing? Surely this centralised approach to distribution isn't sustainable?
Of course, there are alternate avenues: https://github.com/a1ex4/ownfoil
