    What’s her super secret method that she can’t share? Doesn’t sound very open to me.

      If i remember right from the many years ago i first came across her works, it’s a compression method she personalized and finessed over time.

        I prefer and default to fitgirl, but I’ll admit that sometimes the long unpack time doesn’t seem worth the sometimes only 1-5gb file size difference.

          It’s primarily meant for people who have slow connections. If you’re downloading a game over DSL or satellite (which is often the only thing available unless you’re in an urban/suburban area) then the 5GB of extra compression could be a huge time difference. It’s also true for metered connections, where you have to pay by the GB, or where you have a data cap.

          I think there’s likely a lot of people still on slower links that benefit for sure.

          But as gigabit and better Internet becomes more mainstream, it’s certainly less of a problem for those with that.
