Tor and encryption is NOT used for Torrent networks.
Tor network does not have enough bandwidth and capacity to do P2P. Don't even try.
And besides, it would not provide real security.
Real protection methods for P2P are:
1) Don't use it. This is what I do. There are now plenty of websites where content is posted for free, including movies. Just make sure that you run an Antivirus program like Avast!, and you do not download anything from the websites. Do not download any players, toolbars, extensions, add-ons. If they say you need to download something, move on to the next one.
2) Some protection can be gained by using PeerBlock. Enable their A-P2P list.
3) Do not download any torrents from websites that are not mainstream. If you are looking for a torrent, Google is not the right way. It will come up with results for any search, but more often than not, you will be downloading viruses and malware.
