I really don't see a problem with it since it won't change for one. Why should uploaders have to unrar them when u can do it but i just delete them after I am done seeding them anyway I do burn most things to dvd though. @Dr_Green_Thumb 5minutes to unpack? u serious, it takes me only 9 -30sec to unpack xvid and only 2 1/2 min to unpack a dvd, but really it does not make a difference to me. The only thing that takes a while for me is unpacking tv season but still i don't care. Though do tend to leave rars on my hd til I feel like unpacking but I have enough space. Though i should not have voted I do seed things for 3 or more days already so my vote will not have made a difference.

I would seed it longer, but I'll probably burn it in time soon cuz of my crapy 80GB.
whether it is archived or not doesn`t affect how long I seed for, I usually "archive" the files I grab to DVD anyway so that I can always come back to them later, quite a few people burn films and TV series to disc to watch on their DVD players so they usually only have the one copy on their PCs, I do have a prob with passworded archives tho, I think they are unnecessary, but just ask yourself one question, if you downloaded a 4.35GB ISO and then found out that it was corrupted, how would you feel about having to download the whole 4.35GB file again instead of just downloading a single partfile of maybe 14-15MB? I would feel really p*ssed at that
Word, I agree. When I watch a movie I always forget to delete the un rared xvid (or whatever) and it kills my HDD space.
I think your argument only applies to video files. I don't know how convenient it would be to have iso/bin/cue files unarchived because if the file corrupts, it would be a pain to have to redownload the whole thing.
The split archive makes it easier because you only have to download a few pieces.
some video players like bsplayer, vlc and others now support viewing the movie straight from the rars
