They can all see your real IP.  That's how other nodes know how to get
packets to you.

You could configure it to do everything through BitTorrent, but:
1) Don't do that.  The speed will be horrible.  Like, slower than getting
   a second job at minimum wage and making enough to buy whatever you're
   downloading. Even free stuff, which you could pay someone to burn to
   disk and mail you.

2) Don't do that.  DMCA notices to exit nodes by people who don't realize
   the above suck, and will cost us exits in the long run.
