Don't put a zip file in a torrent

[deadduck]

I just downloaded the 48 GB torrent only to realize that it's a torrent of a zip file. I don't have an additional 50 GB of free space on my computer to extract the zip, so I'm unable to play the game. Instead, please make a torrent of the extracted zip file and that way we don't need to unnecessarily double the storage required.

Hi deadduck,

For now this is the only way how to play on our server: https://forum.wow-freakz.com/view-post-5933021.html

If you don't have space delete the things you don't need.

That's precisely why I'm creating this bug report. Instead of putting the zip in the torrent, you should put the individual files that are needed in the torrent. That way people don't need ANY extra hard drive space to extract any compressed archives above and beyond what they originally download. They can just start playing right away.

Don't assume that everyone has 50 gigs of unneeded files just lying around to be deleted.

+1 for the suggestion, torrent should contain unpacked files, not zip.. it's waste of disk space and time for unpacking it
