>>157236 let me get this out of the way: if this torrent is a waste, then don't download it. i told you all beforehand that this torrent was huge and that if you have a working copy of fate there's no need to download this. also keep in mind i don't really care if you hate me and my entire family for torrenting this.
if you're all pissed about the size, blame Type-Moon. there are several unnecessary files in the ISO that, if removed, break disc check. removing them brings the ISO down to about 2 gigs. but since i can't remove them the torrent stands at ~5 gigs. NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
saving ~500 megs means there are about 250 fewer pieces that have to be distributed across the swarm. maybe it doesn't make a difference. maybe it does. does it mean you all have to decompress a fucking huge RAR at the end? yeah. do i care? not really. does it mean i get to stop seeding a few hours earlier than if i had torrented just the ISO? yeah.
also archival programs have hash-checking just like torrent programs do. another step to ensure that you all get exactly what i'm trying to send.
it wasn't my idea to torrent this, i was initially against it. but it was requested in /r/ so here it is. honestly i didn't expect so many people to jump on it. one of the reasons i torrented it was because the no-cd patch you mentioned is buggy and has been known to crash the game right around the time Lancer attacks Shirou at the school. it happened to me, which is one of the reasons i bought fate with my blackjack winnings from last spring.
also telling me that three CD-ROMs are smaller than a single DVD-ROM is pointless.
tl;dr version: i don't really care what you think. good day.
