I dream of a program suite like [Overseer+Jacket+Sonaar+Plex] which would search, download and organize a video game library.

Does one already exist?

            I don’t believe any of the commission methods you listed provide the same amount of compression as the tools used by some repackers.

            I’m no expert. I believe UltraArc/FreeArc are what’s used to get things down so small, and as far as decompressing goes I don’t think support for those compression methods is baked in to your OS/WinRar/7zip etc.

                I think you misunderstood two separate thoughts.

                1. Your listed compression methods are not as high compression as what some repackers use.
                2. The compression algorithm used by some repackers is not supported by OS’s or many common archiving software.

                    You are a fucking dumbass, please just shut the fuck up. Don’t download the repacks then, dipshit. The higher compression ratio is valuable for SEEDING, you know, the thing you should be doing with the torrents you consume. It also is nice to have a shorter download.

                    Also its clear the entire unpacking process is designed to be idiot proof. Hence the exe.

        Not about saving data but I have shitty internet so repacks are a way for me to download stuff without it taking 50 years
