Yea that's one thing I really love about torrents. Because of the giant set of hashes they use, it makes it really great to verify integrity of the download. You've got a hash for each block (128k by default) and for the overall download, along with the complete size of the file.

Depends on the seed creation software, Tixati defaults to 256k for instance, kind-of: it's the default value of the box, but a new default is recomputed based on the amount of data included in the torrent. If I try to seed my local install of Bastion (920MB) it picks 1MB, Atom Zombie Smasher (25MB) yields 64kB, and Shadowrun Hong Kong (9GB) picks 4MB.

Interesting. It's been a long time since I've created any of my own (a decade? geeze I feel old) so it's apparently a bit different.
