Why does it seem torrents are getting more and more heavier? It's absurd now 2 single episodes will take 1GB of space...

Just re-encode them after downloading, you're not going to seed anyway.

You know some anime compresses better than others, right? If everything were the same size, that would be retarded.

That's how they used to do it when I was younger, and that's how they should do it now.

av1 will fix this.

Works on my machine

The death of funsubs had led to a drop in anime encoding quality.

If you are talking about the fact they they rather store it uncompressed, that's because uncompressing 2GB of textures at runtime is pants on head retarded. It would take minutes to do that between scenes. And it's not like the size would magically drop to 1/10th either.

Wait, I didn't read your post properly.
Different encoders have different workflows and also different opinions on acceptable filesize/quality tradeoffs. Some want their encodes to look exactly the same as the BDs at half or a third of the size, while others might be fine with unnoticeable differences in quality that let them reduce the size by half again.
Some attempt to filter out only encoding defects while others might try to remove dynamic grain. There's no simple answer.
There is a simple solution, however: just download whatever works well for you.
