kinda mean you want places but then don't say which place you got
can't help with ps5 places, I get my stuff for ps4 from superpsx
yeah that idiotic rar of a zip of an already compressed pkg is standard on them sites. small price to play to play all the stuff, for free, for ever
edit: forgot to shit on jdownloader, the abomination that shouldn't be let loose on anyone's system. I've had good results with downthemall! for firefox
I'm finding ADM to be fairly useful in handing those BS series of recursively, needlessly packed files, too. 🤙🏼
I'm pretty sure its repack they are trying to find the best way to make it as small as possible.
Also, encrypting a zip/7z/etc. is often one way of avoiding hosts' filters. ☝🏼
Why not just have torrents of the rar files then
well, it may be a hammer and nail thing for me (I work with compression a lot). But different compression algorithms are good at different things. Some solutions do better with text some solutions do better with structured data and some have special features that allow for enhanced compression with better tooling. GZip vs Brotli vs Zstd is a great example. Gzip is good at compressing small, structured data quickly where brotli accells at large text data and zstd is better at structured data and can be enhanced through training on that structure.
