More than the bulk of people using Netflix or YouTube?  I mean, yeah it's async service at the user level, but the connections at the ISP are generally duplex connections.  My understanding is that streaming video is the *VAST* majority of network traffic.  Torrents are a bit more bursty, but that can be throttled via QOS.  Not to mention that torrents are often better compressed content than streaming video, for compatibility with legacy streaming devices.
