I wonder why they don't use bit torrent themselves. Why pay 20k/month for that 700Mb pipe when you can torrent it? I doubt users would even know the difference.
Because Valve wants to control what content each person gets, that's the whole point of Steam distribution. Your client, and only your client can get updates/new games if you pay for them over the internet and such. If they go the way of BT than they don't control the content.

Not to mention getting more than 8k/s on downloads. bit torrent SUCKS!
