Why is there no Bittorrent tracker for open source software packages

Why is there no big torrent tracker for open source software / source code?

When I use software like buildroot I often run into a problem where links to source code packages aren't available anymore, or the server they are on has a bad day, leading to our automated builds to fail.

Wouldn't it be very useful to collect all the releases projects normally put on various http servers on a bittorrent tracker so that the likelyhood of packages not being available drops?

Since the projects have to host their packages anyway, having a torrent client serving their packages as well should be possible?

Or am I missing something obvious?
