someone unrars a release, uploads the iso, no one can help him, he leaves the rars in tact, uploads them, a lot of users can help seed it.
unraring a scene release and uploading it as an iso and chenging the name or at least not giving credit to the scene is a big no no imho.
sometimes, but not often i must admit, pieces fail hash checks, and lately with the scene there have been quit a few rar fixes on games. it means you only have to redownload a small chunk, than the whole iso again.
