>>226739 If the release was a single file, whoever starts to upload it on a (FTP) site is the one who gets to finish uploading it, all by himself. If he sends from a slow site this could take hours, and no one can start downloading until he's finished. With the release split in multiple files, several people can upload different files for it at the same time, and as soon as some files are finished these can be sent elsewhere, without any need to wait for the whole thing to finish.
It isn't done for the end user, but for the sake of efficient distribution.
