Looks like you can download the individual files in the torrent from Internet Archive instead of getting the entire 2TB torrent in one go, here: https://web.archive.org/web/20221022155442/https://files.pus...

(I've only tried a small one, not sure if they have all of them cached)

while that may be useful to avoid dealing with torrents, many torrent clients support downloading only selected files from a torrent.

I had no idea that was a thing!
