Yup, BT=BitTorrent. I don't know the sites by personal experience, they just seemed to have BT like names. Strange that there's such a correspondence, but it isn't particular to your server -- I replicated your results on a handful of tests, from both my exit and a local non-tor IP. Perhaps these are domains that have been shutdown via court order or over zealous domain registrars? Still, I'd think people would stop trying to connect to them after a bit, but trackedbyet.info is the 6th most popular DNS name, and it doesn't resolve!
