As long as the txt & image files are included in the rar files, and
are not posted as single files, it's OK in my opinion.
The problem is that when you create the recovery (par) files and the
txt & image files are not INSIDE the rar file, ech of the txt & image
files requires 1 complete block of repair files, however tiny that txt
& image file might be.
That's a waste, I think.
On the rare occasions that I post I have everything in the rar (files
& directories), like for example:
`-- ! Beverly Hills Exposed (1985)
|-- Beverly Hills Exposed (1985) - A.jpg
|-- Beverly Hills Exposed (1985) - B.jpg
|-- Beverly Hills Exposed (1985) - D.jpg
|-- Beverly Hills Exposed (1985).txt
`-- VIDEO_TS
|-- VIDEO_TS.BUP
|-- VIDEO_TS.IFO
|-- VTS_01_0.BUP
|-- VTS_01_0.IFO
|-- VTS_01_1.VOB
|-- VTS_02_0.BUP
|-- VTS_02_0.IFO
|-- VTS_02_1.VOB
|-- VTS_02_2.VOB
|-- VTS_02_3.VOB
`-- VTS_02_4.VOB
Just like I have it stored on HD.
