it was done so that we could hold the beta release traffic back at a
time in which not many mirrors were still in place. having all files
in one torrent groups up all downloaders to share bandwidth. it is
still possible to select which files to download in most torrent
clients.

given the fact we have now big organizations covering our back with
bandwidth on mirrors, we may as well change this. However it does make
sense to have one single torrent for the big download IMHO which
should also include an archive of all sources contained in the isos.

it is included, the files are tagget NETINST


here the file naming scheme is briefly explained
https://devuan.org/os/filenaming

this naming was thought to be consistent and parsable by scripts. the
filenaming page was not visibile anymore because of a redirect, but
I've just restored it now.
