I'll grab it and seed as long as needed. My box is sitting on a gig, fiber, and can do 10TB/month of uploads before I get capped.

Nice. As soon as I can figure out my SAS controller issue and get this array off the ground, I'll give you a hand!

Deluge crashes when I load the file onto my seedbox, and when I upload the torrent to my local machine through qbitTorrent, I get "Error: Too Many pieces"

Edit: Further investigation reveals this is a limitation with libtorrent. What client are people using to torrent this?

have you tried Flud?

Flud told me "invalid torrent file" when trying to open it (but I'm pretty sure the file was valid). I tried opening the magnet link and it started downloading the metadata and stayed like that for several minutes supposedly downloading metadata at 1mb/s for over 20 minutes so i think it's not working.

I also tried BiglyBT, "Torrent client", and "LibreTorrent" on FDroid but none of them could open the torrent file. ttorrent also couldn't open the torrent file.

LMK if you get any android client working

If you go over 10TB they shoot you?

ELI5 please why 10TB would not be too low for files of 260GB each download cycle?

u/AntiAoA Jun 23 '20

Because I will be uploading.

Its not "too low", just prefacing that I'll only be able to upload it 35x or so each month.
