That doesn't have anything to do with being old fashioned. It's about how racing works in scene FTPs. When you release something race begins starting from so called affil "sites" (group release to all their affil sites at the same time) from there it propagates to whole scene by couriers. Because of how FTP works you need to split the file into multiple files so it can be uploaded by multiple people from multiple sources making distribution fast. And rar is used for that, there are scene rules for it and it's not using compression option.
