I looked up TOR. It does look interesting, and thanks for the link that
shows that it is best not used through a torrent client. Although I
wonder if the same applies to ktorrent. Do torrent clients by nature use
UDP protocol?

They use both TCP and UDP for different purposes.

But yes, the same would apply to ktorrent; ktorrent is a client (like
Vuze/Azureus, uTorrent, etc). Bittorrent is a specific protocol that
these clients use.

The TOR project takes a very dim view on users using TOR for bittorrent
traffic. I remember reading somewhere that they can (and have) kicked
people off for doing so.
