The tails-amd64-6.13.iso in the torrent is intact and okay.  I renamed the 
torrent .ISO to _INC_* thinking it was borked at first.

I snagged the direct download tails-amd64-6.13.iso to compare.

fc _INC_tails-amd64-6.13.iso tails-amd64-6.13.iso
Comparing files _INC_tails-amd64-6.13.iso and TAILS-AMD64-6.13.ISO
FC: no differences encountered

2/3 Verify your download
Verify your download to make sure that it is safe and was not corrupted 
during download.

Verification successful! (_INC_tails-amd64-6.13.iso)

What has happened is the dummy who created the torrent omitted two files 
so the torrent appears incomplete and it will never finish. 

The two files below are missing from the torrent and will never download 
so it appears to never finish remaining stuck at 99.9%.

tails-amd64-6.13.iso -> Present, complete, passes verification.
tails-amd64-6.13.iso.asc -> Not present and will never D/L.
tails-amd64-6.13.iso.sig -> Not present and will never D/L.
