Is that just efficiency (per byte, etc) or would the network actually work better (faster real downloads for larger files vs smaller)? I’m imagining there’s some tradeoff at some point.



From what I've read the swarm works better on one large file vs many smaller ones. I am verbatim passing along what I've read and have no data to substantiate that claim. Hopefully someone that has a better understanding of the protocol and client implementations can weigh in.
