It is a legal requirement in Australia that ISPs record all your "metadata" which will reveal torrent activity. The bittorrent protocol necessarily makes your IP public to peers. Copyright trolls are known to leave bots as fake seeders and peers to collect IPs to mass report people.

Tl;DR: not a good idea
