I figure that the one case where having a torrent would be useful is if you have multiple nodes you want to setup and want to minimize your data usage by not having to download it on every node.

I don't see that as practical use case since you can use one full node to download whole blockchain and copy it to another full node.
You also can configure your other node connect to that one node which fully synced.

How about we just download Bitcoin Core (or other full node client we want to use), open it and leave it until it's fully synced?

Need a lot of time, months

You also need lot of time to download whole blockchain and waiting for Bitcoin Core to verify downloaded blockchain. See link mentioned by @HeRetiK for more info.

The link given by Heretik has a lot of information around the time when version 0.10.0 was released incorporating "headers-first synchronization". This lead to a situation where time taken to "download with torrent + verification by client" exceeds the time taken if you download only using the client. Shorena explained here.

I figure that the one case where having a torrent would be useful is if you have multiple nodes you want to setup and want to minimize your data usage by not having to download it on every node. For this, one would really prefer a trusted source. To OP, of course 2000 Sats isn't much but you shouldn't be charging for something like this. You have a whole website where you claim to be running an academy. This could just be a verified, free source that could drive traffic to your site. Better presentation and a bit more clarity on your intent would help.

So let me get this straight. You're pretty much downloading Bitcoin Core's software, and selling the torrent on your website for 2000 sats that anyone can literally download right now for free anyway?

The purpose of the site is to encourage people to study bitcoin.
My idea, I show the student a video course,they answers the quiz, and if all the answers are correct I pay it in Bitcoin Lightning Network.

I've got a free lesson right here:

Downloading the Bitcoin blockchain via torrent has been recommended against since 0.10.0's release 5 years ago.

So not only there is a risk that the data is corrupted/fake/etc, they have to pay for it?

Also, please don't use an unverifiable donation as a way to encourage a user to do it.

In the Bitcoin Core have multiple checkpoint to verify the correct blockchain.
If you want verify my honest, you can response at one test , and control if i send you the satoshi..
