Lots of open source projects make torrents of their files available for download from their website. That's a different animal from building a torrent client into your app. The PortableApps.com Platform is how lots of our users get their apps now, right from the app store or via the automatic app updater, and that all takes place via HTTP. In order to properly use torrents, we'd need to build a client right into the app store so users can use it but still one-click update/install their apps. But, having a torrent client built into the platform would encourage companies to block the platform itself. And, it would leave our users unable to update their apps inside organizations that block torrenting at the network level.
