The great thing about BitTorrent is that it's distributed to make transferrs faster. You back up your files to everyone so they come back to you faster.

Multipart RARs are good for e-mail or FTP sites that have a file size limit.

If you are having problems with MacRAR (it seemed to have problems with inputting passwords to password protected RAR archives the last time I tried it), install XCode, grab DarwinPorts and have it compile the command line unrar. It will handle the multipart RAR archives nicely.

Yeah, that is what I was using (I got the name wrong), and was having problems with it. It was a long time ago though, it may have improved.
