Ya the reason there like that is wehen u compress something it goes smaller but when u split the rar into 50 it makes it even smaller.
no, it even makes it larger!

And it would be very logical too, as each file has his own headers and stuff, which increases the total filesize. The only reason it is done is so it is more convenient to download. With seperate files you also have less change of needing to start your download again from the beginning because of some corruption, as you may just restart 1 file out of x instead of the whole 1gb download...

zaidgs, your entire post shouts "illegal downloaded DVD here"...

And we are not supposed to be helping people with illegal stuff. Why? because now you know how it works, you could start searching for especially such stuff as you now know how to handle it. If we didn't helped you, chances are that you just gave up...
