Truth be told, BitTorrent is great for distribution, but downright shitty for privacy. Even with encryption, you have the wide-open hole of your adversary, so to speak, connecting to the swarm and seeing your IP.
This, of course, is true for virtually all file-sharing tools with the exception of Freenet and anything done over Tor or i2p.
If you want privacy, you're going to have to sacrifice performance. Sad but true, and that may change in the future if onion routing and crypto are integrated into the core of the next generation of P2P protocols and technologies, but for the time being it's largely a this-or-that deal.
I second the suggestion for finding a private DC hub. A private torrent tracker would help too. Private and closed are good in this case, but I'd seek out DC for its current under-the-radar advantage--most of the copyright cartel gestapo are focused on BitTorrent, LimeWire, and the apparently-now-ceremonial beating of the dead horse that is Kazaa.

I'm not even sure what a DC Hub is. Could you give a quick overview, and maybe a list of recommended private torrent trackers? Thanks a lot for the knowledge (you seem to really know your shit).
