When downloading RAR files, would you prefer the contents were highly compressed, taking less time to download, but more time to extract, or a larger file that extracts quickly?

This is the link that you can upload your file too. then get the download link which will appear after it is finished.

Well, too answere the question correctly. it does not make a difference either way, me Mac can take it all. no quality loss. Smaller is faster, that is for the low end machines, Top end. I like the convenience of a one stop shop!

I guess the question is not about video encoding, but RAR compression... since compression of RAR / Zip or any other kind of compression is completely lossless after extracted, there is no loss of quality... but if we are talking about encoding, that´s a diferent question...
And besides, 100 mb of any RAR file takes less than 1 minute to uncompress, and certainly will take a lot of time to download, so i vote for SUPER MEGA COMPRESSION (though movies compress so little)

Since JPGs are already compressed, compression doesn't do very much at all. By putting a bunch of files in a RAR or a split RAR, you are just making uploading and downloading easier, but not really saving any space or bandwidth.
As an experiment, I just RARd a 102mb JPG. The RAR was 103mb when finished.
In the case of BMPs, TIFs and other larger formats, archiving is a great benefit.
