  1. It doesn't make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn't designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you're going to leak your actual IP address.
  2. Tor is a TCP only network.
  3. While this doesn't give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.

For bittorrent and p2p it is better to use i2p, tor only to surf the internet.

Mind giving a little info about i2p for the clueless?

I2P is a P2P darknet. on tor the network is run by volenteers (~6000 nodes) while on I2P everyone on the nerwork is a node, and their are no built in exit nodes (in i2p their called outproxies). the official I2P router has a built in torrent client as well. like torrents the more people on i2p the faster the network, while the opposite is true for tor.
