Yes you are right, but we need something to at least get a Torrent going.
Some time ago I was able to get a torrent for the TRS-80 (Model i,III, IV)
line up, was like 5GB, and it would be nice to have the option for the CC
rather than depending on the archive sites which as Steve pointed out can
disappear.  I am willing to get the torrent started, I just need a good
mirror to start with.
