Apparently, some BitTorrent-sharing people are using the Tor network.
I've received complaints from one Mark Weaver copyright at mediasentry.com, 
who cited infringement details such as

> > Infringement Detail:
> > Infringing Work: Harry Potter audio book
> > Filepath: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004).torrent
> > Filename: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004).part01.rar
> > First Found: 7 Oct 2005 07:12:59 EDT (GMT -0400)
> > Last Found: 7 Oct 2005 07:12:59 EDT (GMT -0400)
> > Filesize: 51,200k
> > IP Address: 213.239.210.243
> > IP Port: 18354
> > Network: BTPeers
> > Protocol: BitTorrent

Has anyone else heard from him, or the Christopher Little Literary Agency? 

I'm not concerned about the infringement, but about P2P
people using the Tor network, and causing unnecessary load.

I presume there's no simple way to block BitTorrent using nonstandard
ports at this time? I can see how this would be difficult to
implement, since requiring tracking BT session state in
the outgoing cleartext traffic.

My ExitPolicy looks like this

ExitPolicy reject 0.0.0.0/8,reject 169.254.0.0/16,reject 127.0.0.0/8, reject 192.168.0.0/16,reject 10.0.0.0/8,reject 172.16.0.0/12
ExitPolicy accept *:20-22,accept *:53,accept *:79-81,accept *:110,accept *:143,accept *:389,accept *:443,accept *:636,accept *:706,accept *:873,accept *:993,accept *:995
ExitPolicy reject *:1214,reject *:4661-4666,reject *:6346-6347,reject *:6419,reject *:6667,reject *:6881-6889
ExitPolicy accept *:1024-65535,reject *:*
