Well if your into computer games, World of Warcraft delivers all its updates, and content via bittorrent.
It has become pretty much exclusively the preferred method of delivery for every linux distribution out there. Any one and everyone that needs to distribute large files and doesn't have the resources to deliver it reliably tends to use it these days..
People tend to get the technology mixed w/ the pirates... as if no one would be trading files en masse bittorrent wasn't around. If bittorrent went away tomorrow, illegal file-sharing wouldn't skip a beat. It'd just move along to something else, like it always does and has in the past.
I bet theres still more adult content being swapped on the newsgroups these days than on the torrent sites. Its always been the biggest and easiest source of free porn I know, but no one ever brings it up.
