Re: Shipset Torrent Question
The files will always be in RAR format.

Re: Shipset Torrent Question
Can you have a selection for both options given that the choice is pretty much even?

Re: Shipset Torrent Question
Why not include them separately, and add a batch file to unpack them all?

Re: Shipset Torrent Question
As more ship sets get added, a single archive will get larger. Not everyone will want every shipset however blasphemous that may be.

Re: Shipset Torrent Question
whats the problem with putting the ship sets all in their own rar inside a directory and make a torrent for each rar and then one big torrent for the directory.

Re: Shipset Torrent Question
That would be excessive work, and would require people running 200+ torrents (in the case of SE4). You can make your torrent client only download certain files if you want to.

Re: Shipset Torrent Question

Re: Shipset Torrent Question
Maybe smaller packs arranged alphabetically? (ie. A-I, J-R, S-Z) It would decrease the amount of torrents needed, yet people wouldn't have to download the entire megapack for the shipset(s) they want.
