You do realize, that data in torrent are WAY outdated and new node need get lots of data anyway?
So what? It is and it forever will be a proper subset of the valid data. This torrent is sufficient to reliably trigger bugs in certain popular/cheap flash storage devices. This alone would make it an useful test case for at least decade, maybe more.
Also, there are (non-English language) papers that use this torrent for performance comparison of various file systems, alternate storage engines and file/partition layouts.
It is NOT good way to bootstrap node.
This is just your personal limitation that you can't or won't understand why separating over-the-WAN download from over-the-LAN initialization is and will be useful troubleshooting and testing tool.
