So can bacula.

This sounds more complicated instead of simpler.

Not really faster unless you are talking about 6 servers each with
their own autoloader.

bittorrent is not a backup solution. It would be horrible at that. Its
a solution to distribute multiple copies of the same large file to
many users around the world. I highly doubt someone would want to send
their backups all over the world. Also I doubt that users would want
to download and store my backups for me on their systems all over the
world.
