New torrent file creation dialog should have a manual piece size selection option

[Bob Bib]

New torrent file creation dialog should have a manual piece size selection option (e.g. a drop-down list with "Auto" selected by default).
Automatic piece size decision looks to be optimal, but sometimes it is necessary to manually select the piece size.
If a torrent is created from a rather cumbersome structure of files and folders, it becomes rather big too, and some trackers don't like such big torrent files. As a workaround, user sometimes needs to create torrent files with other programs, because Transmission (including the CLI version) doesn't support the manual piece size selection.

Closing the report as the suggestion was rejected upstream. If anybody still wants to pursue this idea, in Ubuntu Brainstorm at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ it can be discussed, voted by the community and reviewed by developers.

Closing this bug since the upstream decided not to fix it. Thanks for your report.

Fixed in transmission 2.80-0ubuntu1
(use the 'transmission-create' utility from a 'transmission-cli' package).
