Torrent size maximum?
-
Heya there,
I don't know if there's a policy, I looked but I can't find any, but if not then just general opinion. I've been uploading bukbuddies, but now I'm at a model whose folder is 7.2GB. Would that be considered too much for some people? Should I split it up? It's not even that many files it's just the pictures are very High Res, (some are almost 10MB per picture), and it'd be silly to have many different torrents with like 100 pictures each…
What do people think?

To my knowledge there is no maximum size for a torrent but keep in mind that smaller torrents get snatched much faster on this tracker. 3-5 smaller torrents may be the way to go.

The files of the biggest torrent we have are of above 50 GB size (we discussed if to approve, because of the risk the original seeder won't suceed) and some in the 20 GB range.
However, if you look carefully in the different rules spread about our site and forum, you'll find that:
- A collection should not contain full lengths movies (but only clips, pictures, etc…) > upload these separately
- A collection should not be above 2 GB of total size, unless it is a full site rip or TV season (above mentioned torrents are for such)
Double Layer DVD got typically a size in the range mentioned and are for a single file. We have many of them accessible to Power User only.
QTM does not allow a single file to be 2 GB or above (multiplie fies, each below 2GB, in a folder above 2GB of size is possible)

The videos on him aren't the problem, since all of them combined would just be 1.1GB. I did wonder on uploading them separately, but I ended up deciding that it would just end up being like I wanted auto approval faster, since they range from 80MB to 500MB. I'd feel silly having a 80MB file by itself. It'd be like uploading files from like, Str8 Jeff separately (they're usually bunched up to make them bigger).
The problem is 1399 pictures of 4MB-9MB. Having a file with 300 pictures (about 1.5GB) would stretch it to almost 5 torrents just for his pictures. But I guess that's what I'll have to do, separate them between photoshoots. It's just that to me picture torrents are less successful. Hmm… Maybe setup so that each video is combined with pictures from that photoshoot. Yeah that'll work! I think...
The only reason I want to upload each models whole folder is for completion. It feels half-done if I just do the videos because I know when I really like an actor I'll scourge the interwebs looking for anything on them. But thanks for the good ideas. If I separate the movie with it's pictures then they'd be about 2GB each and have media + picture

Just another word to collections: Some moderators don't like mixed collections. So I'd recommend:
one torrent with all videos, another one with all photos (might be in different folders for the different videos. Like Uwe already told you: there is no real rule about the max size of an image only torrent (might be you could also zip them to different files, again: one for each video).

Yeah, I should have said "A collection of video clips should not be above 2GB …"
