  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.

    Tribler is the only thing I found to bypass my network torrent block for free (no vpn).

    Just found out about i2p, i2psnark worked with i2p torrent (I couldn't make qbitorrent work). If I understood corectly, it should work with non i2p torrent if someone on the i2p network has it, but it's still pretty niche so right now it doesn't work mist of the time.
