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 There are three FreeBSD FTP mirror sites in Australia, and one of them (ftp3.au.freebsd.org) seems to be out of date, but the others have the 6.0 release available.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.
