Welcome jack.
You will need to install a additional software, a VPN one whose allows torrent applications. No more to say, just paid one will allow you to use applications that uses torrent protocol. To doesn't allow torrent by two reasons: they are such bandwidth consuming and the second is that tor uses only complete TCPs connections, while torrent protocol uses UDP a lot, mainly to find peers/nodes
Tails does not ship any BitTorrent software and is unlikely to do so in the future.
The problem with using BitTorrent over Tor is double:
- It harms the network, as stated by suomynona. See: https://blog.torproject.org/why-tor-slow-and-what-were-going-do-about-it.
- It is technically hard to do it properly and will probably break your anonymity.
There are relatively vague plans to improve on this situation.
See the Tails' FAQ on Bittorent
