Sounds like it's using bittorrent.
This is nothing new, a lot of popular software uses bittorrent to distribute updates. This has been done for many years.
It's a non-issue for me. There's no perceivable impact on my network connection seeding a popular torrent, and this wouldn't be any different, except that there's a fuckton more nodes and therefore a negligabe impact on any one of them.
It's simple the singularly.most efficient way to distribute updates to the most people in the fastest time.
