Why anyone even bothers with repacks?
Just to save few gigabytes when downloading, only then to waste a lot of time messing with it or just installing as it takes forever

It’s canal+ mainly that’s always on the hunt.
Apparently downloading stuff in Poland is legal but sharing (seeding) it’s not, so there is the problem
I only laugh in Linux cause it’s just the same anology as driving Dodge Ram in Europe - good luck finding spare parts.
At the same time VW Golf parts are sold almost in every convenience store.
+1 for fclones
Btw. Always wondered if the name possibly comes from Fucking Clones
I’m using this in my unraid. Scheduled weekly, just in case.
#!/bin/bash
#noParity=true
fclones group --one-fs --follow-links --min 256MB --name '*.mkv' --name '*.mp4' --cache /mnt/user/data/torrents/ /mnt/user/data/media/ --max-prefix-size 128MiB --max-suffix-size 64MiB --skip-content-hash > /tmp/dupes.txt

There is nitgifn to trust in here.
Repackers don’t crack games. It’s someone else, usually scene. Once the cracked game is available widely, repackers just do whatever they do, which is very questionable as there is constant flow od reports with problems.
So the original question stands. What’s the point of using repacks? To save 10GB on download, then to deal with unpacking for ours? How many countries still have a download limitee Internet connections?
