To be fair, popular downloads need a popular architecture and miniroot61.fs for amd64 is just 4.4MB. Plus a bunch of KB for SHA256.sig. Maybe a torrent is a bit overkill for both of them? BTW, might be interesting to know that Tails recently stopped distributing torrent files of its releases for security and privacy reasons.
