Essentially the title. I was trying to download a file and my colleagues told me that I should use uTorrent. I did some research and figured that this was very popular a while ago, but since then has decreased in popularity. How does it work and why did it decrease in popularity?

There is one thing that is likely to be miss here, and it could be your question.
You still need someone else to introduce you _to the network_, to peoples.
When you download a torrent (metadata) it is likely there is a _tracker_ into it.
Peoples downloading that file all say hello to that guy, and in return it connect you to some peoples.
From then you can exchange more peoples to grow your network and not rely on the tracker anymore.
