Game project launcher downloading game files via torrent, is it a good solution?

For an online game project, you need to develop a launcher for downloading game files. Is it a good idea to distribute game files via torrent? And how to update the build of the game on the torrent network? (recreate just a torrent file?)

Some games do just that - they embed a torrent client and a torrent server into the game, and distribute updates that are downloaded distributed.
This is useful for games that have lobbies so that the game itself is not affected.
Well, you don't need to "server" on too weak PCs with a small upload, which is easily checked.
