As you can see on http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/iso/LibO_3.3.0-1_DVD_allplatforms_snapshot-2011-01-28_21.13.39_de.iso.mirrorlist the file isn't only non-existant on any mirror, but there are (and this is crucial for torrents) no hashes known for it. The hashes haven't been created, therefore -- probably because you put the file manually into the publicly served filespace, instead of pushing it through our stage area, and "publishing" it via our stage2pub script. The latter script would have taken care of creating the needed hashes. Then the torrent generation would work. Thus, a 404 is returned for requests on the torrent file. Once hashes are there, they'll be displayed on the {...}.mirrorlist URL. By the way, the torrents can contain web seeds only when the file is on some mirror. So I would suggest to let it be mirrored at least on one mirror, because a fast web seed is obviously very convenient or torrent users.
