It is not as complicated as it looks! As a long time windows user I'm in the process of getting used to the command line and I love the simplicity and direct way of doing things. For some tasks and small programs it is amazing. Grep for example is something amazing that you couldn't do in a windows type UI.
For other stuff like visualizing a directory tree you can always use a mouse interface. You're rarely forced to use the terminal.
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.
The compression was already explained - I would add that if you're not deep into scene groups, popular repackers are in general a safe choice, i.e. no malware included. Of course it's never 100% safe, but in my opinion safer than picking from a list of torrents what could be the scene release.
I never had issues with fitgirl and Dodi, maybe other users can drop some more names that have proven to be reliable over a long time.
