The internet provider on my dorm specifically allows legal torrents

If you get the torrent from a site using HTTPS and get the data only from encrypted peers is it even possible to tell what people are downloading?
For anything public, it's anything varying from trivial to hard/annoying depending on your client settings, but never quite impossible. Even in the best-case scenario where you have DHT turned off and all the trackers in the torrent are using HTTPS, man-in-the-middle attacks are fairly doable for anything popular.
