I believe that this is a common misconception using Tor in this manner
will not hide you from someone scraping the tracker. It will hide you
from your ISPs DPI throttling (watching for/blocking connections going
to trackers) but what gets reported to the tracker is your actual IP
as without that the other peers would be unable to connect to you. So
you can use this to get around throttling or blocking but it does not
hide you from anti-p2p companies.
If people want anonymous transfers they should use/support gnunet,
mute or the like. Bittorrent was never built to be annonymous.
