The wikipedia page doesn't say - do clients generally support this protocol now? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clien...

First bullet on qBittorent's changelog for v4.4.0 is that they do. So I'm sure it's rolling out quickly to others.

v4.4.0 changelog: FEATURE: Support for v2 torrents along with libtorrent 2.0.x support (glassez, Chocobo1) - https://www.qbittorrent.org/news.php

BitTorrent v2 has been officially supported in PicoTorrent since the same date as the featured blog post from libtorrent :)

I just love PicoTorrent! It's exactly what I want from a Torrent client. Thanks!

BiglyBT was the first Torrent client with v2 support

Not really true - v0.20 of PicoTorrent [1] was released with BitTorrent v2 support on 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.
