How is that worse than serving files via HTTP? With HTTP archive.org is the only peer that can serve files to you, with BitTorrent it will be one of the (hopefully) many peers, and will degrade to the same level of redundancy as HTTP if all other peers leave.
BitTorrent also supports web seeds and they don't even really have to keep a full client running, just embed an HTTP link into the .torrent file.
