Mktorrent help on Ubuntu seedbox..
I'm having some problems creating .torrent files on my seedbox, or at least I'm having problems creating large .torrent files.
the torrent I want to create is 78GB large.
When I try Utorrent I get an error in the middle of the process, "There was an error computing the hash: 4"
So have installed Mktorrent, and I give this command to create the .torrent file:
mktorrent -a http://tracker.hehe:80/announce.php -p /home/admin/Desktop/The.Folder.I.Selected
That works, BUT, the torrent file gets to big, about 6,5MB :blink:
which is to big to upload to a torrent tracker.
Anyone ever heard of this kind of problem or can help me in any way, would be very appriciated :)

i dont now if its a utorrent or tracker problem. But i think torrents bigger then 1000 files makes problems on some trackers and torrent makers

Thanks for the answer guys :)
but when I use Mktorrent I get way to big .torrent files :/ (over 6MB)
I wrote the exact command I use to create the file above, is there anything wrong with it? Whats the command you use to create you packs Slayer2005? :)

the way to solve that is to (drastically) increase piece-size.
