Hey, So I'm searching for some Wii.iso's(for the games I already own, b/c I cannot afford a lg drive to backup my own).. And from what i've been learning, the file size is really important as far as a good file vs a bad.. When I do a torrent search like on mininova.org i cannot find a single 4.37gb file.. I'm thinking the .01 difference wouldn't make a difference but I really dont want to waste my time until i know it will be ok. so any opinions would great...
thank.

Sometimes they compress the file so the size is different when you extract the ISO it should work out, also read what people have to say about the torrent check how many thank you notes there are rather than complaints, but those who get DRE's and everyone else is fine usually means there using rubbish media.

They should come out to 4.37 gbs (4,589,824 kbs) after extracting with winrar.If not,no good.

I'm not sure of mininova,but some sites have smaller uploads and call them scrub/scrub versions. I've seen them under 300 mbs. Amazing,dl a 300 mb file,extract it with winrar, and minutes later a 4.37 gb ISO.

Read the comments thoroughly. Sometimes the scrub versions may work with certain people's soft mod kits,but may not work with the mod chips.

Definitely use quality media.

I'm surprise it took someone this long to say it.

Anyhow OP you should mention that you already own these games that your searching and that your lazy to make back-up copies so you rather download .iso instead.

That way you won't find any suspicious white minivans camping on the other side of the street from your house.

I haven't come across any sites where people will comment on the quality of the torrent.. nor have i seen scrub versions.. can you recommend any sites?
