How to Deal with 2000 files in a torrent

I am trying to seed a torrent (in 1.6.1) with over 2000 files (MP3). It is 5.6 gb and on auto (when creating the torrent) it created 1455 x 4mb pieces. The leechers are seeming to constantly drop in and out.

Is this the most efficient way to distribute them or should I rar the file into one large file? or is some other option best?

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to set the piece size to 2MB, 1MB, or even 512 kB (read: lower, just not too low :P). Other than that, peers dropping in and out isn't a very uncommon sight when seeding new torrents. You might also want to seed the torrent under initial seeding.

RARing the file will force people to have typically ALL of it to use ANY of it. Definitely the WORST way to go. :(

I agree with Ultima that piece size being smaller than 4 MB is probably better. This is especially important when many of the files are not much bigger than the piece size.
