oh.. I did not think I would upset anyone by starting this threat, for which I am sorry..
@Uwe:
You give indirectly yourself another reason for big file sizes of short clips: High Definition (HD)
Many recent productions are done in HD definition and distributed in that definition formats. A 20 minutes clip in Blu-ray Disc quality can easily have 2 to 3 GB …
I might not have used the best wording, but what I meant was, that the torrents I was refering to were NOT HD, just normal SD (or low quality) clips/vids, that did not demand huge file sizes (1 or2GB)…
@bluehue:
i've noticed it a bit, but who really cares with the speed of internet and the lost cost of hd space these days. i download 1080p for movies and flac for audio whenever available. it's 2011.
Well, I dont care about my speed either but I DO care about my disk space and I don't want to save files, that SHOULD be 400 MB, being 1.5GB and not even HD!
I didn't put any links here, because 1st, I didn't make any notes and honestly, I couldnt quite remember in which section I've seen certain torrents because of all the new files everyday (for which I am thankful) I can't find them at the moment..
Because I don't browse every category, I thought someone else might have had the same impression as me, and bitmania seems to tend to agree with me ..
the last thing I wanted was to appear ungreatful for all the uploaders here! They are doing a great job, but as I said: some torrents were just unreasonable huge, and the only reason for that would be for getting seeding-bonus.. my only intention was to bring it up and see if anyone else feels the same …
additonal edit: just searched a few mins, and found 2 torrents (which I DID NOT download myself - but other users seem to complain about the torrent's unreasonable file size..)
