# piece-length
piece-length finds the optimal piece length for a given number of bytes. Optimal for what exactly? BitTorrent. [VuzeWiki](http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Torrent_Piece_Size) and [TorrentFreak](http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-make-the-best-torrents-081121/) have both released some examples of ideal piece lengths, and this algorithm will reproduce them.
