I think there's still potential to steer BT in a more exciting direction if there was the will to from those involved. More quality software projects using it to download by default. Bring the trust back, shake off the reputation for just being trojan-infested cracks.

There's plenty of things besides piracy people could be doing with torrents and related tech and it seems like such a waste of an idea. A Linux package manager, an open-source Acestream alternative, collaborative work on large scales

Updates for large software (mostly games) is often distributed via BT. But it's mostly invisible to the end user because the client just does it transparently.

Well there's a start (but the bittorrent people should shout about those sorts of uses)
