BT would likely only be used by those with some understanding of what they are doing. And if the tracker site doesn't openly 'advertise' torrents for old versions then the chances of starting a download of an old version is small.

Presumably there'd have to be a separate torrent file for each calibre version/flavour, i.e. calibre-64bit-1.42.0.msi.torrent, calibre-1.46.0.dmg.torrent etc. That's what LO and ComicBookRack do.
