no they can't. the whole rars are better on bittorrent because of corrupted file is nonsense. i don't know who started this false information, but you still see it posted in every rar or unrar thread.
data integrity and recovery is built in the bt protocol, you don't need an extra layer.
it uses an sha-1 hash code for each received piece of data. you'll always get exactly the same what was initially uploaded to the tracker.
if you end up with corrupted files, you either have faulty hardware or the file was corrupt before even uploaded.
also almost all scene rars are archived, but not compressed. you don't save hd space.
