I've notice a new trend on release, some are released as .zip and other in mutiple .rxx why, Doesn't the scene have standards for releases, like the old days? It makes it a pain to archive. What happend??
Errr, Zips have already been the standard even back in the gba days, it seem to have been a recent thing, also if rar were a standard someone should pick a size for each vol, come on now do we really need 8, 5mb files. All you need is one Rar up to 50mb with pars, and your done. Seems like a dumb move to split, who needs them that small.
If you have to upload a single big file and something goes wrong that what pars are for, or just re-up, I turned in my analog modem back in th 90's. When other scene isos are 50mb a vol without a problem why crack them up.

Hey, I know you!Â
blah blah blah i'm a kid blah blah dunno how usenet works blah
I fuckin hate it when I download a meow and it's like a zip containing a rar, containing another zip that is containing 15 rxx files
Multi-part RAR files are pointless at these sizes.
They should be used on larger files, after all DL DVDs are posted in 100MB chunks.
I have seen 200MB files on usenet before.

Whatever the circumstances, you're wrong, and you're staying wrong, and the hole you dig yourself only gets deeper.
