Games demos, full client downloads (for online mmorpgs) or patches also come in torrents as it helps with bandwhidth of the sites. Open Office, linux distributions... it's a very used and normal thing nowadays :o
All people can find is an IP and one port that's open but they cant really know who it is since the torrent swarm consists of several people and well there's not much that can be done with that and like hackers (if that's what you're worried about) dont just choose a random IP and hope they find something good I think xD also well if a hacker wanted to get into your computer there's not much stopping them, basically just by using the internet at all you're expossed :P
