Not having to download a video/piece of music is exactly the problem that YouTube solved. Going back to this doesn't seem like the right answer to me and will likely cost you most of your audience. Furthermore, moving to torrents is hardly a solution for YouTubers who actually monetise their videos through the site. The better solution, if you don't agree with their new comment policy, would be to migrate to another video site like Vimeo.
