Torrent protocol can be used to distribute large, read-only files efficiantly if you
allready have shared copies on faster local network (home LAN for example).

You can also think of this feature as nice desister recovery solution if you want to have
multiple copies of your data somewhere in the cloud, and use aggregate download bandwith
which is useful if you try to recover using asymetric ADSL network connections.
