what safeguards can you take for torrenting? I think my school tracks it somehow...

There are none. Use a client that encrypts. There's nothing else you can do.

if you're torrenting at a public school, on school computers, there's pretty much nothing you can do that can hide from a smart network admin.
if you're using your own laptop, connected to your school's wifi, maybe there's something you can do. but i kind of doubt it. torrents are set to travel as "normal" internet traffic aren't they?
ignoring that comment about "normal" internet traffic, how are you supposed to encrypt torrent traffic?
if the sender doesn't encrypt it (you can't rely on the sender encrypting the data, since you can't choose who you connect to), when is it going to get encrypted as it passes through your school's network equipment?

the major clients all have encryption options now.
i cant believe this is foreign to you. people have been using it for years to get around ISP bans.

maybe I never had to deal with it because I don't pay jackfucks for shit service and have a real ISP

You set your torrent client to only accept encrypted traffic (I know uTorrent can do this). Trouble is this will cut down the number of peers you can receive from. On one of my torrents right now, I count 22 out of 67 peers using encryption.
