I believe the 2 persistent HTTP connections/server recommendation is just that: a maximum of 2 *persistent* connections *per server*. Torrent downloads are more likely 1 connection per server with many servers. Torrent clients also have the ability for users to specify maximum outbound transfer rates and trying to overcome them by opening more connections to a particular server will likely not be fruitful.
Also, networked system designers may have control of how endpoints are implemented but if the public internet is used as a transfer medium then they have little (if any) control over what happens between those endpoints. ISPs can (and often do) control traffic via whatever criteria they deem fit. Choke points likely exist in many places and end users may be powerless to understand and/or resolve issues caused by over-zealous connection hoarding.
