A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.

    Is quality worth the 50gb?

    I don’t have any fancy speakers or monitor…

      At 80+Gb that means it’s a straight blu-ray rip without being recompressed at all, which is perfect if you have a nice home theater system. You definitely notice the difference then. But if you’re just watching on an average monitor with headphones or such, then you’re honestly better off finding a smaller version that someone properly compressed down a bit.

      My very fancy sweet spot is somewhere between 10-20gb 1080p
      My alright sweet spot is around 7-10gb 1080p.

      Higher is too much in disk space for me.

      They look amazing on a big TV with a nice sound system. If it’s just for watching on your computer I would recommend the 2GB RARBG releases.

      It looks great on my TV! The HD version also looks very good but flipping between them this version is noticably higher quality.

      With prices being about 14$/tb on sale for the cheapest 8-16tb drives, yeah, it really is. And if the cheap drive breaks, no problem, you only had public torrents on it anyways.
