  Not the author of magnetico here. I think magnetico is not expected to replace a proper DHT node but be run in parallel: one is naturally present because you're a peer in any amount of torrents, the other is using the network for searching. I'd expect both to be running on the same machine. After a few weeks of running it I know have a 2.6GiB database of torrents. I wouldn't expect a standard torrent node to include this feature, especially because the value of magnetico only comes when the database is big enough. That said magnetico should definitely be a standard node in the network, it's light enough that it can do it

As things are right now, magnetico is a huge bandwidth eater and will literally eat all available bandwidth if it can, doesn't seem to have any limits setup today so if you want to be able to do other things at the same time, you have to limit the process/IO manually.
