This is very true, however the designers of the Tor network highly discourage its use for bittorrent obfuscation, as that places a huge traffic burden on the Tor network.
My understanding of the tor network is that exit nodes are the bottleneck. You can have legal problems if you run an exit node (a friend had his computers confiscated by the police a couple of years ago because of this). But non-exit relay nodes are less of an issue. If we had a bittorrent type service that used tor hidden service ports then it would only use relay node bandwidth not exit node bandwidth. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
