Is there a file limit?

[tarrat]

I'm trying to upload a large (60,000+) collection of images. It's about 15gbs & when I try to create the torrent page, I get the 'something broke' screen. I didn't know if there was a limit on the number of files in an upload.

Today I uploaded a torrent with over 15,000 images, and yet I had no problems. Maybe the problem is the size? I mean, I once tried to upload a file over 200 GB and my client burned out.

We've had a few 1+TB torrents over the years.

The 2 I remember most were movies (1 porn and 1 theme) so they didn't have anywhere near the 15,000+ files.

@tarrat Are you trying to create the torrent using the Quick Torrent Maker? Or have you already done that in your client? If you haven't maybe try that route. I know qBittorrent can do it, and I seem to recall uTorrent can too.

If you do, I'd recommend using the Classic Uploader. I'm not familiar with all this new-fangled stuff yet, but can help with that, if needed. Probably unnecessary though - it's dead easy! ... Just remember you need to download the NEW .torrent file the site creates, and add that one to your client, not the one you created manually yourself. I think that's the only thing that often trips first-timer users up.

Kevin4fm I got it to work by reducing the number of files. I had split it into two parts, but had to split it into 5. I had no problem making a torrent file in my client (uTorrent) that only gives me problems if it's over about 22gb. This was the Classic Uploader, I just don't think it could handle 60000+ files. The new parts are about 15000-20000 files and I got them all uploaded. Thanks.
