Torrenting uses a lot of Tor's limited exit bandwidth, especially when using TCP, causes exit hosts to receive copyright complaints and most torrent clients work out your IP and sends that to either a tracker (many trackers only work over UDP and most torrent clients opt to bypass the SOCKS proxy for UDP so trackers work) or to the DHT, thus the intended goal of anonymous torrenting usually ends up failing.
i2p and GNUnet meanwhile happily tunnels UDP, which bittorrent works great over.
