Hmm...I think both sides here have some good points. From personal experience I can say that torrents are getting more popular, but not by much.
They are only getting more popular now because people are more afraid of getting a virus from programs like Limewire (although I know lots of people who are also afraid of getting a virus from torrent files, which rarely happens if you know what you're doing). Torrents may be slightly confusing, but they're a great way to have downloads available for people and the collections are vast. I noticed the files on Limewire are getting worse with each year that goes by. Many corrupted files.
Again, if you know what you're doing, torrents are the best way to get (stuff-you-should-be-paying-for) information on the internet.
Not only that, but I prefer the speed that comes from using a program like µTorrent rather than something like eMule (sorry, jaz).
