That's interesting. In my database the The largest stored info is 3MB. It's compressed down from 14.5MB. And it's not unpopular stuff, it quickly drops down to just over 1MB for the larger infos. The average compression is around 25%.

I checked the code and the limit is 100MiB. So if the metainfo is 100MiB or more on the wire, the indexer won't bother fetching it. The hash data is thrown away for v1 torrents, so it might be that the largest infos here were significantly larger with the hash data.

Here's the raw data if you're interested

a is the compressed MB for the file listing for a torrent, b is the uncompressed size. a/b is the compression ratio.

I assume you're poking around in the torrent database attached to cove.

Uh oh!
