Do you want a simple answer?
fitgirl repacks attempt to stress your cpu/gpu to the maximum and try to overheat your beloved PC, by making the data for the game astronomically compressed to the point where the decompression time can actually take longer than the time to download the original crack on USENET by as much as 4-8x.
If you have USENET, don't even bother. If you have unlimited Data on your ISP, just torrent the un-"packed" version. You will thank me in the longer time. Its not worth it in most cases.
Here is an example of a 75GB repack that makes it 56GB:
Did the time it took you to save <20GB download save you the additional 1.5 hrs to decompress?!
Okay, if the repack is under 20-30GB, its probably worth a shot. But even then...
Fair point if you have a high speed connection. But if your system overheats during decompression, the fault lies with your shitty technical skills instead of the repack. Clean your rig, man.
