Witness also the subtly extreme rebukes against anyone who suggests using bittorrent over Tor - not by the head honcho email addys, but such suggestions consistently draw out a spitting snake in response.
There is a good reason for this: such requests have the potential to completely overwhelm the Tor network. If you really want to torrent anonymously, get on I2P.
There's an even better reason for this: BitTorrent leaks your IP. What good does onion routing do you if the exit node can see where you are? If you want to use BitTorrent without revealing your IP, get a VPN. --mlp
