I only used FNP once or twice... can somebody ELI5 me why all the movie dowloads was so ridiculously gigantic?
You may have been downloading BluRays or Remuxes which are a 1:1 copy of the video in the Blu Ray disc. Or probably a very high bitrate file (depending on what you consider huge).
I was primarily looking for olden movies - I tend to binge-watch old horror B-movies - and the downloads were usually greater than 2 gigs.
Thanks for the explanation.
Even with HEVC encodes, 2-3 GBs is what I look for in terms of quality. FNP divided the torrents by what kind of encode they were from full disc rips to web downloads. So the size between those torrent varied wildly.
If you just wanna watch B movies once and delete, you’re better off scouring YouTube for random uploads.
