Default "Where'd the smaller size rip go?"

EDIT #2: We'll be sticking with 700MB rips from now on. Use Kip's rips if you want the smaller ones.

--------------------------------------------------

I put out the 700MB Scene rip for three reasons:
  • The Scene gets their rip out a LOT faster
  • Most people don't care about the filesize, they just want it and fast
  • Vuk's laptop's battery ran out mid-record and so he'll need to capture the re-air (lol, I know)

So yeah, if you want a 425MB rip, you'll have to wait. Sorry.

EDIT: Kip has been putting out smaller rips -> http://forums.finalgear.com/showthread.php?t=22004
