Arguably, yes, since in bittorrent downloading content is directly tied to distribution of content.

By torrenting a work you own in a different format, you are (potentially) also distributing that work to someone who doesn't already own a copy.

SO just downloading without uploading should be fine?

I'm no lawyer but I'm sure someone could make that case. The torrent peer swarms don't like that though, and I think most clients tend to penalize that behavior (leeching).
