They are worse than .rars. You need to uncompress your tarball for every operation, you know.

>>45337450
>specify character encoding
The 80s called, Anon, they want their concept of multiple character encodings back.
>>45337426
you clearly don't know shit about tarballs then.
>>45337088
Scene doesn't use rar5, and they never use compression - only 'archive mode'.
>>45337474
Can I send them files I want extracted?
>>45337482
Whole .tar is placed into one gzip stream. Each file inside tar is prepended by its metadata. To get the name of last file inside tgz, you need to decompress almost all of it.
>>45337460
>takes considerably longer than just opening a .torrent file.
A few seconds more is not considerable.
>>45337489
Oh, I thought you were making zips with odd character encodings, not extracting them. My condolences.
>>45337530
I _do_ know how to use XDCC so your lies won't get you anywhere.
>>45337088
dumbass question, but what's a scene release? i cannot find an actual answer to this question.
>>45337450
There is only one encoding: UTF-8.
>>45337564
maybe in your imaginary world
>>45337547
How is it a lie? If you know where to look you can get a paclist and send out a request in a few seconds. And you can immediately start watching a video file unlike with torrents.
>>45337339
what servers and chans have bots like this?
literally never heard of this until now.
>>45337579
What other encoding do you need, and why?
>>45337584
>If you know where to look
And you don't. You have to look for sources. You have to remember/keep database of sources. With torrents there is one stop for searching everything.
>>45337588
It's 2014 and you can't google?
>>45337599
I need Shift-JIS encoding in order to decode text encoded using the Shift-JIS encoding. Hope this helps.
>>45337606
>With torrents there is one stop for searching everything.
That's plain wrong.
>>45337629
Works for me though.

>>45337642
That doesn't even come close to explanation why we need obscure encodings: we can do what you described with utf8 just fine.
>>45337643
no offense, but 7zip has unrar, so it's kind of nonfree in that regard.
>>45337680
libunrar is free, but afaik is doesnt work on winrar 3 and up. and it can only unrar.
>>45337039
Why won't the command line version of 7zip let me decompress rar files?
>>45337680
Why are people respecting that restriction? Just say you did not use winrar source code to write winrar unarchiver.
>>45337620
yes
>>45337561
A community of groups that release stuff like movies.
They got a bunch of outdated rules for example each release must be in ~50MB rar archives.
Ever downloaded something and it's a ton of archives you have to unrar? Probably a scene release.
Their anime guidelines are absolutely atrocious.

Holy shit.
Just noticed last update for 7zip was 4 years ago.
I been using 7zip for everything, and I didnt notice the lack of updates.
>>45337872
compressing already compressed data is kind of retarded, but the multifile rar shit needs to stop.
>>45337880
I'm using same version of windows 7 for almost 4 years. Why do people think they need updates at all? I'd understand for publicly available services, to fix remote vulnerabilities. But for home computers... As long as it works the way you want to, don't update.
>>45337872
The final file size must also be a multiple of 1120 for some reason. Not on their anime releases but on their movie releases.
Pretty sure they were really slow with allowing H.264 as well. They were worried about support for old DVD players and such.
>>45337953
the video and audio are already compressed, but the subtitles can actually be compressed further, so you can actually see some slight size benefits from making a rar from them.
>>45337088
7zip could always open rars, it just couldn't make rars.
Winrar seemed a lot faster than 7zip last i checked, hopefully 7zip made up some ground.
>>45337973
Because of other improvements? New features, security fixes (you can get attacked even if you're not running a server), better use of new hardware (taking advantage of newer instruction sets and such).
There are plenty of reasons to update your software.
>>45338022
New features I agree with. The rest - useless in practice.
>>45337979
why...
i mean, it's pirated, why bother re-burning to DVD? just dump the contents of the disk into an ISO or something...
>>45338050
You think security fixes are useless in practice? Really?
>>45338018
no it can't
7zip packages unrar to unpack rars
jesus fucking christ.
>>45338059
Yes. I'm using SP1 Windows 7 from 2011 without a single update installed. Behind a NAT. Not touching IE. Tell me how I can be punished for not updating.
>>45337989

>>45337486
On top of that, subtitles takes up next to no space.
My subtitles for Guardians of the Galaxy takes up 98KB.
>>45338050
So performance improvements are useless in practice?
You think lower risk of exploits on your computer being used is useless in practice?

Browser exploits are found all the time. A malicious website (even just using XSS) can put you at risk of being infected.
How about your HTTP stream being easily decryptable?
There are plenty of instances where you can be put at risk if you run software with known vulnerabilities.

You don't know how it works.

It does not.

These CVEs get fixed in security patches. You don't have these patches, therefore you can be exploited. If you think you can't because you don't use IE, well there isn't much helping you.

>>45338167
I asked for one. One. Pick one, post it, and I'll explain how it can't be used to harm me.
How difficult can it be to follow simple instruction?
Are there any compression algorithms more efficient then what ever the fuck .rar is using? We live in 2014, you'd think there were something new and improved by now. Even an improvement of 10-20% would be nice.
>>45337708
Yes, but use The Unarchiver (unar)
>>45338191
I don't think I am. I think Windows updates don't make me less vulnerable. Hope this helps.
Do you think Windows updates make you less vulnerable? Why? Please give technical reasons.
>>45338142
So you were specifically talking about Windows, not just software updates in general?
What about programs that rely on Windows functions which might be vulnerable?
>>45338209
Because the updates fix vulns in software I use? What are you arguing about here?
>>45337734
>must be split rar archive
is there any reason for this shit at all?
I mean, yes, back in the day it was helpful, when download speeds were at 30kbps, you paid 10cent/min and most servers didn't support resuming downloads
and even then, there was always one single fucking file that was corrupted / deleted, making the entire, several day download useless
why still insist on that nonsense nowadays? WHY?

that's how retarded you sound right now.
why even bother if winrar is infinitely better? huh?
>>45338198
There have been updates to rar. The file extention is the same but the actual compression algorithm is different. That's why 7zip can't open some archives. Because they use the new rar5 compression algorithm.
There are a bunch of other algorithms as well which probably outperforms rar in some situations, but they are not as widely used.
Also, asking for 10-20% improvement on compression is a lot. I mean, try to compress:
aaaaaaaaaa
more efficiently than a[9] for example. Pretty hard to do.

Why?

>>45338289

>>45338323
Because Windows updates fix stuff related to Windows internals. In practice functionality exported to third party programs is already good enough that it doesn't need fixes.
>>45338343
>Because Windows updates fix stuff related to Windows internals
Right. Which have security problems. Why wouldn't you fix them? Are you that much of a domain expert that you can guarantee none of them (now or in the future) will affect you?
>>45338281
its terrible.
its just LZMA. 7z uses a bunch of algos and picks whichever compresses best (taking into account speed). So a single .7z may require any of the set of 7z algos, which is handled transparently. In the retarded spirit of doing one thing well, xz does only LZMA, so it takes way too much time and memory on many types of files that arent all that well compressed by LZMA.

>>45338729
I know.
>>45338246
because it adds a second line of defense for parity/PAR2 data when downloading from somewhere like usenet. The process for repairing broken downloads goes like this:
First thing you do when the download completes is run a consistency check using parity data. Let's say one of the archives is corrupt.
You probably don't want to just redownload the file, because your usenet provider's server likely doesn't have the complete set of articles that composed the file, which caused the file to be corrupt when joining the articles.
So the PAR/consistency check you ran previously should tell you how many additional recovery blocks of parity data you need to download to fix your issue. Sometimes these parity blocks are also corrupt, so you just keep downloading them in increasing size until you have enough recovery blocks present to perform the repair.
If that fails, you identify the offending RARs and replace them from another source.
All of this is unnecessary with something like bittorrent that can request specific blocks of data and performs consistency checks at that level, and has the ability to re-request corrupt blocks.
>>45338779
wut. Anyway, I agree completely with you.
>>45337486
>>45338078

>>45339269
If you had any idea how the scene works you'd understand why they do it. How are 10 people going to race a 8GB mkv? Without the files being split 1 person is going to send the mkv and racing will grind to a halt while you wait for one person to send 8GB rather than 5 people sending 96MB rars. If the 8GB file is incomplete on the persons source site they are going to send 7.99GB over and over again wasting bandwidth. The list goes on. Before you moan try and figure out why something is done the way it is retard.
>>45338816
>file corruption
that's the price you pay for using retarded stuff like usenet.
>>45338246
Think of it this way. You're downloading an 8gb+ file, and the power goes out, or you crash, or your router fucks up, whatever. Your download is now corrupt. Would you rather use a checksum and figure out exactly which .r** file got corrupted, and redownload just that, or would you rather start an 8gb iso file from the start? It's a clear choice for me.
>>45339794
racing?
Torrents automatically split files into chunks between 512 bytes and 4 MB with a hash tree. Overhead is minimized, corruption is minimized and throughput is maximized.
>>45339831
on the other hand, you get 100% bandwidth saturation and never need to worry about torrent health
