Afaik, Tor is not recommended for high bandwidth activities like bittorrent and streaming. I'm sure it works, but probably would break the network if too much of it went on. I'd be happy to know this never was the case or changed. Its the reason I never got on the tor bandwagon.

Trying to stream video over tor is a terrible experience, even if you stay within tor onion sites and don't rely on the too-few-and-too-overloaded exit nodes

bittorrent as a protocol isn't even any more secure over Tor, so you're just taking up bandwidth on the network by using it. Direct downloads and streaming may be less of a concern, but it's probably too slow right now to really do streaming effectively.
