Popcorn time aside, yes people have figured out that they can
today practicably usably entirely BT within Tor with onioncat and
BT client of choice. Similarly though a bit harder within I2P etc.
If you don't understand that onion = IPv6 there, then people
need to follow and read the prior onioncat link. In that case
it's not necessary to hack apps (PT) to understand onion
and special proxy method into tor or whatever overlay net.
