Makes sense. What about individual folders? I'm concerned that the massive amount of small files could slow down the download quite a bit. Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with the BitTorrent protocol, so I don't know if this would have an impact.
Small files don’t impact BitTorrent transfers. They’re sent in pieces of a fixed size, and those pieces can contain multiple files.
Depends on final size of the folder zips. 20-30mb? Sure. 200-300? Nah.
Jpeg is already compressed, so compressing them again won't do anything but make it impossible for people to selectively download just the image/folder they desire.
Metadata on the other hand sounds like text files, which compress very well. Wether the space savings is worth it is hard to answer without more info. I'd personally lean towards not archiving it.
Only if you can achieve significant compression. 15% or more.
I'd put it all in a single archive.
Leave them as is. I hate having to deal with archives inside torrents unless there's a very good reason for them.
Why not both?

CIA is just an information gathering agency with no legal power, the FBI has the authority to make arrests.
