Hi, Claude...
The problem is and I'll try to be as clear as possible, that Tor was 
never intended to be used as a P2P channel, since it uses lot of the 
energy from everyone, and so damages the Tor Network for all the others. 
When You find mentions of using Tor in some P2P clients (µTorrent, 
Azureus, mlDonkey), they only mean for searching data as a browser (for 
instance, searching for torrents, or eD2k files)... and this, is indeed 
working as a for a normal browser. But transfering a file or files is 
another story altogether, and it asks for a much bigger and powerful 
flow... and so if few people would do so, very soon would be Tor 
unaccessible by most of the rest... so, when someone asks you not to use 
Tor for P2P, he simply means please, don't bugger Tor for us to be able 
to continue to use it... ;-)

Appart of this, your problem with P2P is indeed an acute and serious 
problem, especially in certain contries in Europ where laws are trying 
to crawl after the run of tech... so, the only way is to run too and not 
to crawl ! Today, the old systems of P2P are (still, and inspite some 
updates) in an unusable state (for savety), I mean all the eD2k, 
mlDonkey, Azureus, Bittorrent, and the like (that I loved dearly few 
years ago)... but you have lukily some P2P third generation trying to 
merge : Ants, i2p [which can also be included in Azureus], Stealthnet, 
Freenet, and few others... that are certainly perfectly hidden and 
anonymous, and so, perfectly safe, but sometimes (at the moment) a bit 
poor as choices for files and folders.... but you should try Pando, 
since this is totally anonymous (end to end encrypted), fast, and as 
rich in folders and files as ed2k or Torrents... and also free....  and, 
visiting any of the Pando forums for movies or music (Like visiting 
Demonoid) can be done using Tor... only the DL is done separately. But I 
won't say more here about all this, since it's not really the place for 
it, so good luck and please, stop using Tor for P2P...
