That's not what I had meant by latency. 
Copying & pasting a magnet link takes milliseconds at most.
Then you wait.
And you wait.
And you wait some more.

That's called "latency".

You add random latency to the time BETWEEN when you grabbed the magnet.
And the time you employed that magnet link inside a bit torrent client.

Of course, you change your IP address between those two times also.
But if there's is a short latency, they can easily figure which was you.

You don't want them to figure out that it was the same person who grabbed
the magnet who then immediately started torrenting the media.

Latency puts distance (in time) between those two "related" events.
It's the whole point of latency in the first place.
