I use them regularly.  I use the RSS feed to auto-download the torrent
files and then seed them until the next week's files are out.  It's kind
of convenient to always have a recent planet file on hand, even though my
main use of the data is via a minutely-updated PostGIS database.

I'd be really happy if there were torrents for the PBF files, too; they're
a lot faster for me to process.
