In theory, yes everybody should be using the same torrent.  In practice,
though, having a torrent for two geographical locations (one Americas, one
Europe) prevents your torrent client from having to go over the slow,
across the ocean links.  It makes more sense for people in the Americas to
connect to peers in the Americas and people in Europe to connect to peers
in Europe.  I guess if you don't fall into either of those categories you
just use which ever is faster for you.
