Well, pretty much every full release of Ubuntu from Canonical overwhelms their http servers on launch day so the torrents are a significant part of the distribution mechanism.
It's not just Ubuntu that gets distributed by torrent though; id Software runs a permanent tracker for their patches, linux binaries and demos at zerowing.idsoftware.com.
Having only ever used torrents for non-copyright-infringing material, I've never thought that there was a 'shortage' of legal content delivered by torrent.
