Question size information of the releases

I think that could be very useful if together with the other information (and screenshots ) , the site presents also the size of the files.
this because very often there exist incorrect versions on the net and the right one is not always the biggest one.
for example, I downloaded two versions of the second file of monsters inc. (centropy TS)
the correct one is 442.845.172 bytes
the wrong one (4 minutes missed) is 448.180.700 bytes

Thanks

The nfo gives the amount of files (48x15mb for example) and most of us get our files in these original packs.

I presume your gettin your files from a filesharer or something, where they're unpacked, fucked with and mislabled first

sometime i found the original packing, sometime an unrolled one (as you said on a filesharing program, but not only ... also un pubs).

I think that other people too would find benefits in having the indication of the exact size...

it is not this great overhead... some characters... and futhermore it is not needed to extract the movie from the multivolume archive to reach such an information...

I Think That Is A Great Idea, Me & My Friends Were Talking About It Yesterday,

It Know That It Would Be Extremely Useful To Alot Of People Because There Are Alot Of Servers(FTP'z, Pubs & FServ's) That Have Movies Already Extracted Or Renamed And The Only Info You Can Go On Is The File Size And Movie Name.
Like Yesterday After 2 Days I Finished Downloading, I DL'ed 2 Files Named "Monsters.Inc.cd1.mpg" & "Monsters.Inc.cd2.mpg" About 1.5GB Total, Well It Had No Sample Or Group Name Or Any Other Additional Information.
The Bad News Is The "Monsters Inc." Wasn't The Centropy Copy I Hoped It Would Be, It Was The Most Awful Movie I Ever Downloaded I Think It Might Be The HboVCD Release, The Rating Here For That Copy Is 4.5/10

And It's Good For Movies Like "The One" Released By TEG-VCD Because They Released 3 Different Versions Of The Movie, Some Really Bad Ones. It Would Be Cool If We Were Able To Seperate & Tell The Difference Between The 3 TEG-VCD Copies.

I Would Be Incredibly Appreciative And So Would Others You Were To Add These To The Movie Details.
The File Sizes Of The ".mpg" File After Converting It From A bin File. And The ".bin" File Size Would Be Great To See.
----------

On Another Note: I Think VCDQuality.com Is A Great Site, Lots Of People Would Agree That The Site Is Very Helpful And The Users Comments About A Movie Is Really Great, Especially If You Are About To Get The Movie And Haven't Seen Or Heard About The Quality Yet, Cuz No One Wants To Spend Alot Of Time Getting A Bad Quality Movie That They Won't Watch And Just Delete It Right Away. So Seeing The Horrible Reviews About It First Will Save Us Alot Of Effort Trying To Get The Movie

Thanks VCDQuality And Keep Up The Great Work,
Dj K
