BitTorrent will usually always work for downloads no matter what. It's the seeding that doesn't work too well with home routers that doesn't have the correct port forwarding or Upnp setup.
It's a hybrid between BT and S3. The S3 will keep feeding the data down if there are peers or not, but if there are peers already watching, then it will utilize them as well.
I don't think this will work well for YouTube where there are millions of small videos, but for large Video distribution like NetFlix and Hulu, would be perfect.

Not quite, some fairly popular home routers have issues where they don't have enough ram and crash rather than loose NAT data. Which really isn't a problem until you run a (stupidly) high connection protocol like bit torrent. So yeah it works if they reboot their router and restart the download but that isn't what you want to do in a youtube like app.
