I think the main problem here is that torrents and checksum files are
being written to their final locations without being put in a temporary
location, tested and verified first as happens with the ISOs. This means
it's a race to fix problems before a broken version is released, and also
that they tend to get posted shortly before release, when there's little
time to fix things. By going to a temporary location first, they can be
created shortly after Go/No Go, and any problems fixed well before
release.
