First: It's the unofficial torrent link topic that showed up, not yours asking for one.
Second: Sorry again, but this sounds like you didn't spend more then 5 minutes to find a torrent before asking for one.
Third: I guess the main developers either can not or don't want to be responsible to make sure the torrent is always seeded.
Fourth: I'm not quite getting your point here. The md5 is on the download page and if you got the file from the unofficial torrent shouldn't you be able to compare them? I mean ok, that would require to download the file first, which could be a waste of time if the checksum is wrong in the end.
Finally: Nobody should expect to get the same service from any distribution/software, especially not when that product is free and made by some guys in their free time. In that case you should appreciate that 3rd parties provide extra support.
I don't understand what you mean with "loading their own servers". The webspace for the site is sponsored (and it sounds that it creates quite some expensive traffic already), the image downloads are hosted on github.
