I would think there'd be very little benefit in providing a torrent links for anything but the current version. If someone really needs an earlier version then they can do a file download.

Maybe do a trial on the Windows versions for a few months to see if it has any impact on download traffic. Be interesting to know what proportion of LO downloads are via torrent, they've had it for some time now.
