Think of torrents that you can update: You have the magnet link for the one version you are downloading, but also you have available the magnet link for the current version so the uploader can update at anytime and you would receive the update. And if both versions share some pieces, then people can share them across both torrents, and any other torrent that happens to have a piece with the same hash.
