Tor doesn't work for torrenting and anything high bandwidth.

thats not true, its well documented how various bittorrent clients can work through tor. the main drawback is that its slower than a direct connection, but that does not mean it doesn't work...

Also, when I said doesn't work, I only meant that it's not an acceptable alternative to VPNs.

I got the impression that it's considered bad etiquette to torrent over Tor.
