The current MBP will handle everything you throw at it - don't worry. For torrents, I use Vuze - some say that it's a resource hog, but I've never had any problems with it. VLC runs on a MBP with no issues at all.

My MBP is a late 2009 17" 3.06Ghz upgraded with 8GB RAM & 7200 rpm HDD, and I've had no issues running Vuze and working on 21MP RAW image files in Lightroom3 & Photoshop CS5 (and several Firefox tabs open) simultaneously. I do have an external Firewire800 scratch disk for Photoshop though.
