tor and bittorrent

[Philip Cheney]

I've read about a past clash involving bittorrent and tor 
(http://azureus.sourceforge.net/doc/AnonBT/), but it seems that Azureus 
has built tor support into their bittorrent client.  Does anyone know 
the details of their implementation?

This was mentioned on Slashdot 
(http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/03/0458256) and you can see 
it in the changelog (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/changelog.php).

If they've integrated a client, it would be nice if it acts as a 
server, too.  This is going to be an enormous surge in traffic, and the 
files that people are going to want to download by bt anonymously are 
probably going to represent a big surge in copyrighted material being 
unlawfully moved across the tor network.  Has the Azureus team been in 
contact with anyone here?

(or maybe they've just added support for tor and I'm overreacting!  
It's happened before... :) )
