Mktorrent help on Ubuntu seedbox..

[BethCooper]

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

Yhea i get exsactly the same when creating packs so i opt for maketorrent witch does the job fine.:)

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? :)

Will try that then :)

[thep33t]

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

in the options
Options:
-a <url>[,<url>]* : specify the full announce URLs
at least one is required
additional -a adds backup trackers
-c <comment> : add a comment to the metainfo
-d : don't write the creation date
-h : show this help screen
-l <n> : set the piece length to 2^n bytes,
default is 18, that is 2^18 = 256kb
-n <name> : set the name of the torrent,
default is the basename of the target
-o <filename> : set the path and filename of the created file
default is <name>.torrent
-p : set the private flag
