Tor sucks for Torrenting.

First of all, it is abusing a chronically overloaded network run by volunteers
by ussing an agressive protocol that is known for overloading networks.

Then, Tor is only good for delivering outgoing connections, so you won t seed
any of the files you download and your download performance will suck.

Finally, Tor is good for TCP only and therefore has information leaks that sellyou away, and the Tor dudes expresely say so.

Best anonimity layer for torrents these days is I2P, in my opinion. Its main
drawback is you will get dial-up speeds.
