You are probably connected to some other Tor network than me :-). My exit
node was on 100% all the time, until I reject everything except HTTP(s)
traffic.

I think torrents on tor is hard question. We cannot restrict Tor, but
torrenters are annoying us (right, me and some others). I prefer any kind of
port-oriented QoS or so. http should have more priority than non-generic
ports, because, probably, there are users waiting for responses. But it
probably much harder to do than block Tor ips in bittorent clients ;-).
