Torrents aren't a very useful way of downloading releases except in
the short period after a release.  There are three FreeBSD FTP mirror
sites in Australia, and one of them (ftp3.au.freebsd.org) seems to be
out of date, but the others have the 6.0 release available.  None of
them seem to be carrying the betas for the 6.1 release, which is
forthcoming shortly.
