It doesn't make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn't designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you're going to leak your actual IP address.
Tor is a TCP only network.
While this doesn't give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.

Torrent via I2P instead

What's i2p? I downloaded i2p from fdroid and installed it. It showing peers and active peers but my IP is still the same. Can you please ELI5 ? Thanks

I2P doesn't behave like Tor by default, it's designed around connecting to internal peers within its network so your browser won't treat it as a proxy but default and you have to specifically configure it to route traffic to the I2P network
