Tribler: Peer-to-Peer decentralized torrent client (www.tribler.org)

I wanted to gauge interest in Tribler. It claims to be a tor-like p2p client created by privacy researchers. Has anyone had experience with Tribler? Did you get any takedown notices? What were speeds like?

If you want a decentralized search, set up a DHT crawler and build a db of millions of torrents in a week or two. If you want anonymity/legal protection, use a trusted VPN. I'm not sure I'd trust a random independent tor-like implementation, especially when the real tor is slow and has imperfect anonymity.
