I simply disagree. Torrents are king for large media content. Of course porn should be more concerned about streaming, but for hollywood movies, etc torrents are king. Rapidshare isn't even that fast on http download, I regularly get quicker speeds on torrents (try configing your router right). And I don't have to dig through a heap of bullshit dead links, buy a premium rapidshare account or download split archives. Torrents = go to piratebay (or site of your choice), search for what you want, click show highest seeds, go in, review a few comments, click download torrent and let it sit. Warez and direct downloads may be pretty popular, but torrents are the real pirates choice. In fact if you look 90% of files uploaded to rapidshare originally come from torrents. They still have the demonoid text file or the same torrent name, etc.
