I did a little work on this topic...............But the conclusion I came to is 95% of people use the same common images and 5% use all the other strange images.
so.....if every body downloads the same image 300 times x 5 meg each 1500 meg total
If I use "all" images at 300meg I only need to seed twice (600meg total) with torrents
Form first hand experience Torrents are real efficient
The down side to the end user is that needs to download 300meg each time

I didn't understand any thing, what means by 1500mega total or 600mega total, what the deferent with you? Maybe there are somethings i don't know it .
If on me, i will upload all images inside folder and then put it in any torrent server, and then the user can choose his firmware image file at start download.

You create a torrent as you describe and see how big it gets
The problem with my work is we only have a slow ADSL connection
3 Mbps Down
0.6 Mbps UP
I have another site where I place a mirror images
200 Mbps Down
100 Mbps UP
But this transfer takes a bit of time
Hope this helps
Currently working on setting up travis-ci or some other service to build the source on any changes so and then upload it to github as binary. Will make everything easier.

Its only a matter of time until my builds become redundant. But I guess I can say I did my small part
