Sorry if this was asnwered before, but couldn't find it. I can't seem to find any groups that usually release really small sized 4k rips like rarbg used to do. Movies went from ~5GB to ~20GB, and I really can't tell that much difference in quality that justifies 4x the size.

Tried some YTS rips, but the quality is WAY worse than RARBGs rips :(

The quoted rule seems to come from the Plex.tv. And the forum threat said first four rules are irrelevant these days.

The first 4 ‘rules’ generally are no longer as important as they once were, but may still be a good thing to bear in mind.

And I want OP to know that

shame that most x265 groups microsize the releases or use the x264 as source what results in low quality releases. And the few groups that do use the correct source suffer from it.
