> Is BitTorrent trackable/traceable?

It is easy for Internet Service Providers to determine you are using BitTorrent.

BitTorrent traffic is usually encrypted nowadays, but anybody downloading the same
files as you can also find out easily you are downloading the same file. In effect,
the only thing you need to know who are downloading some piece of copyrighted material
is to start downloading yourself and then check the list of IPs in the swarm.

You may remain intraceable if you do NitTorrent within an anonimity network (I2P comes
to mind) but then you are limited to downloads available inside those networks.
