qBittorrent I have not tried personally but I would think that if you have i2p set up on qbit already then enabling the setting "automatically add these trackers to new downloads" and add in a few open i2p trackers. Postman requires an account so unless the exact same torrent has already been posted there you won't be able to bridge.
For Prowlarr, it's a little more complicated. You can add Postman just like any other indexer but you then need to configure your proxy settings in Prowlarr for it to be reachable. If you are running your i2p router on the same machine you can just enter your local address (127.0.0.1) with port 4444 and it'll connect. If your router is on a remote machine the easiest solution is to then use ssh port forwarding (autossh is handy here). Ssh forward the remote 4444 port to local and then use the same address and port. The final step is setting your ignored addresses, I have a bit of a list but the idea is to filter out all non .i2p addresses so an example would look like: *.com, *.net, *.info, ......
EDIT: I should also add, if you are sticking with I2PD and are more concerned with just downloading and not incorporating the *arr suite there is a standalone Snark download that's floating around somewhere that can plug into I2PD. I haven't used the standalone personally but I do know that Snark is by far the most optimized client exclusively for i2p torrents. Snark is also baked into the standard i2p install by default.
Oh yes adding i2p trackers would make things work better, lemme try that out.
For i2pd, by default the http proxy binds to localhost but you can set the ip to 0.0.0.0 in the settings to bind it to all interfaces. Then you can just do :4444
Yes i have tried i2psnark standalone. It works well, but i have noticed it connects to i2cp, while qbittorrent binds to the SAM port. It’s a bit technical but i wonder what’s the difference between the two protocols?
