It’s primarily meant for people who have slow connections.

It’s also true for metered connections, where you have to pay by the GB, or where you have a data cap.
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.

Can confirm, 5gb extra is about 9 more hours of downloading, presuming everything goes well
I think there’s likely a lot of people still on slower links that benefit for sure.
