It may be that the fact this is a BitTorrent app has little or nothing to do with it being pulled... The article mentioned that to even use the app it requires a premium ImageShack membership. I'm not an iPhone developer, but from what I've read online, this itself is a violation of the terms, and may be the reason for pulling the app. While I don't have the exact rule on hand, it is something along the lines that your app can't require a paid membership to use, unless you're able to offer a trial/signup in the app. I'm more inclined to believe this especially because it sounds like this isn't a BitTorrent downloader, but just a manager, which I don't really see as an issue.

The Spotify app requires a premium membership and Apple has no problems with that. The British Airways app requires a British Airways Executive Club membership and Apple has no problem with that. Requiring (free or paid) membership is only a problem in the App Store if it's unreasonable, e.g. the core functionality of the app would work without a membership.

The iFound application also requires a membership, which is invite only. It was removed for a while but has since returned.
