For the last time its TURRETS not TORRENTS. A TORRENT is either a peer to peer file sharing protocol or a violently fast stream of water. A TURRET is a self-contained weapons platform housing guns and capable of rotation. And TURRENT isn't even a word.

The covies had shoddy intel with respect to Earth. That and Regret attacked prematurely, instead of building up a sufficient armada to demolish UNSC orbital defenses.
If you play through the Delta Halo, and Regret levels Cortana will shed some light on this. (specifically her dialogue when you are in the underwater elevators. You're missing the point.
Why was Lord Hood surprised when the Covenant armada was so small?
He says something along the lines of "Only 15 ships? It was supposed to be 50 times that size."
So obviously Master Chief must've forgotten to mention it. - THERES THE PROBLEM
He actually notes that the fleet that destroyed Reach was 50 teams that size. Hood thought that the Covenant had discovered the human home world (and knew what it was). The Covenant actually thought it was just another planet. Hood expected that if the Covenant knew that Earth was the human homeworld, they would have met up with another fleet and brought more than 15 ships. Instead of gathering more ships after their original fleet was destroyed, they headed straight for earth instead of getting reinforcements. This is what surprised Hood.
