Completely aside from the ethical and censorship-related buzzsaw you're about to run into for posting this (perennial) question, I believe some actual developers on Tor have written a paper about the problems with Bittorrent et al (and I think there's a more specific one than the Why Tor Is Slow[1] paper) but I can't currently find it. Anybody know?

NB: the above paper is from 2009.
I've just had a quick scan of that paper and it makes for an interesting read. :) I'm going to go away and read it properly but a couple observations.
Here are some more links: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/9368 http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~jansen/papers/throttling-sec2012.pdf https://blog.torproject.org/blog/research-problem-adaptive-throttling-tor-cl... Finally found em just as another user brought some of them back to my attention. :) Best, -Gordon M.
