If I wasn't so befuddled with that devuan.org blocking issue by my ISP, I
would have mentioned this earlier. There was the following post on
Distrowatch, and my reply (as user "Paraquat"):

Hi Napoli. At first I got confused by that too, but on more careful
inspection, I saw that the torrent link included all the different versions
of Devuan: ie i386, amd64 (both CD and DVD versions), Raspberry Pi, Odroid,
various other development boards, etc. So you need to go through your
torrent program and unclick the versions you don't want. I think I'll
suggest to the mailing list that they separate these downloads to different
.torrent files.

cheers,
Robert
