The only advantage is that you don't need to extract the files....and the disadvantage is that you can't seed file on another tracker if files are not originally rarred i dont think.;)

not to mention that but rar'ing helps saves bw... easier to organize (lotta vob files have the same generic names but diff content... who wants to dload chapters of unrared albums,text,random dvdr's etc....)

not to flame or nething but u gotta seriously be really really lazy not to be able to unrar a file.... :dry:

Okay, you made me do it :P

No. Unless you mean the extra 0.01% compression you get. on raring files in an already compressed format (avi, mp3, etc)

How is it easier to organize dozens of rar files than 1 or 2 avi's? :wacko:

It takes 5-10 minutes for every TV episode/movie I download to for me to uncompress it & my computer is useless for that duration. It's a short life.
I also have very limited disk space on my laptop & don't want to have to keep 2 copies of everything (one to seed & one to watch).

for that i prefer these sites with no rar files

We have alot of unrarred files on my site as well. (Mostly movies in divx/xvid/kvcd formats) We also post alot of the films in rar format as well (Xvid Cat) I think T-D might have some unrarred files now and then as well.

btw :: rars are really important to make the torrent faster !

its not really any faster... its only faster when transferring via ftp servers like the scene does. Transferring on torrents shouldnt be really any differance.

i don't think that is a problem if they .rar every file..
