Some spins have not been advertised on the direct download pages (and to
the best of my knowledge aren't mirrored). If torrents are not provided
for these is there going to be a plan to get download links to them
and have them mirrored? Is increasing the amount of stuff being mirrored
going to cause a problem?

I don't think we want to do this. It will reflect badly on Fedora to
have pointers to torrents where no one is seeding them. While the main
spins will probably get someone to seed them, some of the less popular
ones might not.
