This has been a "condoned" use of BT and Tor for a long time, and indeed AFAIK, is the only "reasonable" use of P2P on Tor. It's not perfect - since transfers are still done in the clear - but it does thwart the current most commonly used method for enumerating users (i.e., scraping the tracker). It also uses almost zero bandwidth on the Tor network. - -- F.
