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.

I mean... nothing that a VPN or proxy doesn't quash easily. Then, with all the other technology we have - theres no way anyone sniffs what I don't want them to.

Hell, throw everything behind Tails or TOR if yer really paranoid and be done with it...

I've created a separate torrent machine that only does that. I can text message it from remote and start a search/download - so I don't even think about it anymore... just send my requests and if theres a hit I have a file waiting in my Plex or /torrent folder.

I hear you're not supposed to torrent with TOR, and especially not through it. I wouldn't trust using TOR for anything that wasn't inside of TOR anyway.
