Plenty of legal uses. For example, it was legitimately faster for me to install deluge and torrent Ubuntu than it was to just download Ubuntu.

There's so many other legitimate uses, but that's the main one I used it for

Same with large academic datasets. You can't rely on most academics to maintain their work past publication, nor to have machines capable of serving that much data in one go.
