Is there an alternative to fitgirl that doesn't have the long uncompress / unpack times? I love that fitgirl has everything and is a trusted source, but the decompression takes too long and sometimes doesn't even work on Linux.

Isn't that like 90% of the point of the repack? To heavily compress things and drastically reduce the download size of a game?

Then I suppose I am looking for a download resources that aren't repacks, or at least aren't so heavy and convoluted on the way they pack.

What I liked about fitgirl is the reputation. A resource I can trust and quality is consistent.

I am also looking for this. I default to fitgirl because its the only trustworthy source in the scene that i know.

Oc i can just try and find a torent myself but with so many fakers out there, people uploading game files even if there is no working crack available, it feels like gambling.

To me that's fair, this is the price of good compression and to me it's worth it.

However what I don't like is the forced admin rights request, which is totally unnecessary. This is the reason I very rarely use their repacks. I know they are trusted, but I chose to not choose them.

elamigos, you can find their repacks on most sites on the megathread

Any torrents you search for on a tracker that don't say 'Repack' are relatively uncompressed.
