Torrents are not "720p". The quality of a video has nothing to do with a transfer protocol. And if you are referring to x264 video, the quality completely depends on how the video was encoded. A quality 720p x264 encode will look vastly superior to any 480p upscale.

As for Youtube doing 1080p video, it will probably look like crap due to bandwidth restrictions.
