Dear torrent content creators

Segmenting content across rar files made sense back in the modem transfer days, when if your connection bombed during download, the most you'd lose would be a single chunk instead of the whole thing. It also was nice to individually checksum each piece, so you were sure you weren't downloading a humongous image that just ended up being unusable. I know, I know - it even felt leet to validate checksums and rejoin rar.
It's not leet anymore. It's not even worthwhile. If you're the original seed of a rar segmented torrent, you don't understand the concept. Torrents automatically checksum each chunk of a transfer, and segmenting is done at the protocol level. Stop rar'ing for purposes other than compression. It's stupid and annoying.
Thank you.
