I don't want this for piracy as I have a paid VPN account that is much faster for that if I decide to pirate. I think we need BitTorrent though to work on Tor so Tor Users can securely share files with one another.
AFAIK the most obvious issue with this (among more subtle side-channel attack / decloaking problems) is network scalability. Total relay bandwidth available is, while seemingly increasing in general, very limited given such use cases. [1]
How does one scale BitTorrent on top of that?
By adding TOR exit-node functionality into the bittorrent clients, and giving bittorrent credit score to clients with lots of TOR-traffic. That would scale the TOR network, and also give plausible deniability to direct downloads ("wasn't me, it was the TOR exit" ;-) -jf
