I signed up and I'm seeing a lot of torrents w/ RAR files. What's the draw of packaging everything as RAR files instead of just rolling with the original files?
It's scene stuff, probably taken from usenet. They use it there because files are often incompete and you want smaller chunks for parity purposes. There's no real advantage for torrents.
