This question is better asked on the debian-cd list.
The seeding setup had broken, I think I have managed to fix it now.

In fact, other than binary-1, most torrents have only one seed. Is there supposed to be an official set of machines seeding all of the images? Could we get volunteers for at least one seed per continent? --Don, broadcasting d-i at 512 kbps from the heart of Texas
There is supposed to be one official machine seeding them, the stable releases get a few more from mirrors that run seeding.
If there are a few more "official" machines with a TB to spare we might want to try to set something up. The problem with the betas is that they end up in between weekly builds and real releases, that's why a few things fall through between the cracks.
