Your connection is only unusable if you don't cap the upload rate in your torrent client to below your total upload capacity, so that you leave some room for ACKs to be sent. Or, you can just get a seedbox or VPS with a decent connection close enough to you that you can stream off it. The torrent will be done near instantaneously, and you'll be able to stream in higher quality than Netflix. You can stream full 1080P MKVs at <20Mbps. Use private trackers as they're much better seeded, as well as the more obvious benefits.
