I think captcha is actually used to prevent spam boots or DoS attacks.

captcha is not anti-DoS. torrent caching sites do not have any comment or posting section for spambots to be used. mass-downloads using bots is actually helpful.

mass-downloads using bots is actually helpful.

How could this be helpful if it overloads the servers?

Probably helpful for people, but surely not helpful for webmasters.

If you are using bots then you are probably a site abuser, and that's what captcha's are made for. To stop people from using bots to take advantage. If you found a site that will let you do that, good for you, but there is no reason to tell us about how you failed somewhere else, because we don't care.
