I have multiple torrent downloads pending for more than an year. Just because it is distributed doesn't mean it is safe from being lost.

Nobody is arguing that, but it's certainly less likely to go down or be lost than a typical direct download link. It's also easier/cheaper to self-host very popular repos with P2P, because it scales nicely.
