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.
