What can see a server of a Bittorent when I contact with it through Tor?

I think that the choice to use a separate tor network is based on two
things:
-a desire to avoid overloading the existing tor infrastructure with
BitTorrent traffic , and
-a pragmatic need to implement the bandwidth `coins' system to ensure equal
sharing.

And on those notes, I think that there is value in using an independent
network. Besides, it wouldn't be too difficult (but still not totally
trivial) to after-the-fact switch the BB network onto the primary Tor
network; it would be much more troublesome to take BB off the Tor network if
it seemed to be problematic.
