Depends on what torrent is about. For me, it is about watching shows that you can't officially watch where I live yet. Once I week, I hit up a site and, click a magnet link, and a couple of minutes later I can watch my favorite show. (The cost of the VPN is incidentally about the same as a streaming subscription. I think for this reason it is tolerated by the powers that be.)

I don't expect torrents to be available for a long time. Only very few people keep the torrent entry in their client alive for long, even though I keep around all the files. This is as opposed to eMule and older systems, where you can download any file in the user's media folder.

I really don't follow you there

I believe the previous commenter meant that sequential downloads are orthogonal to the design of Bit Torrent.
