Use RClone to locally cache torrents fully before seeding. Possible?

Says the chunk flag does not apply to cached remotes which confuses me.

rclone mount

and that's what you want to use. Start with defaults and go from there as I don't know what remote storage you are using so it's hard to suggest other things.

Hi, thank you very much for that. I am using Google Drive.

So from the document it seems that --vfs-cache-mode full uses chunks by default. Another thread I'd read here said that full mode needs to cache entire files before serving the data to a torrent client for seeding, is that not the case anymore?

And what is the default chunk size? Can I still use --vfs-read-chunk-size with full mode and specify chunk size? I just want to avoid querying the cloud server API too many times as is inherent in torrenting. Most torrents have 4MB pieces. I have fast internet and can get away with larger chunks, 100MB or more.

Sorry for asking so many questions, the doc is just not super clear on this.
