Hello !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I intend to upload an archive of a website I scraped for the last few weeks. The torrent is about 4 TB large and contains 400000 folders which in turn contain 40 .jpg’s on average (plus some metadata).

Should I just create the torrent with the files as they are right now, or should I put the individual folders in archives (or maybe even the entire torrent?)?

Thanks in advance

    Small files don’t impact BitTorrent transfers. They’re sent in pieces of a fixed size, and those pieces can contain multiple files.

      The protocol not, the clients…not sure nowadays but in the past some would freak out when listing the files… as in freeze for minutes. Hopefully is not an issue nowadays no idea.
