Appropriate torrent size
-
Hey, guys
I have some OF profiles siterips and I'm willing to share them. But I've been wondering if a large content folder should be split into smaller parts to facilitate sharing. Suppose I have a 30 GB of the same content, should I split it in 2 or 3 different torrents? Would it be better?I coulnd't find information about this in the forum.

Speaking just for myself, I don't have a preference between one large collection, and a few smaller collections. Users can select which files to download either way.
One thing I would suggest is that you show what the individual files contain: A quick way of doing that is to post a screenshot of a file directory, showing thumbnails from each file (see attachment below).
Thank you for sharing your material.

Split it up as much as you can for many reasons. A DMCA takedown request for one one video would take down the entire torrent, no one will ever spend the seed bonus points to make it freeleech, few people download a large torrent and seed it for long, etc.
It would make sense to upload the files from each OF profile in a separate torrent.

Depending on your upload speed, splitting them into smaller parts may be better, because then you can get each part torrent out faster by seeding only one at a time until they take off.

Based on your example;
Personally I would split it into 3 bits (10gb each).
Too many people are creating tiny torrents, and that is a PITA when you are trying to get an entire set/collection.
Also, remember that every torrent uses tracker resources nearly equally just sitting on the system. Then of course you have to add in traffic.

These are really great answers.
Thanks for the help!
