# Torrent from qBittorrent through the Tor network (not recommended)
# If you can, use qbittorrent+gluetun instead.
# Beware: It will be often dead slow

# Purely for educational purposes and not intended for illegal use.

# ! Why should we not use Tor for torrenting?
# * Torrenting via Tor strains limited bandwidth, degrading performance for others. 
# *   Torrent clients can leak your real IP, compromising anonymity. 
# *   Tor exit nodes face legal risks from torrent traffic. 
# *   Tor isn't optimized for high-bandwidth tasks like torrenting. 
# *   Some exit nodes block BitTorrent due to these issues.
# *   Not to mention, they don't support UDP, which is required for DHT and PEX.
