For starting you can use UltraArc. Grab it from the tools archive here: https://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=102510

Inside the tools archive you will find more usefull tools, for example the game file scanners.

Firstly thanks for the reply KaktoR,

I am currently trying UltraARC and just curious on the estimated time in the following scenario below:

File - Games
Sizes - 15GB - 30GB
Compressed Sizes - 10GB - 20GB

If there any lack of details, do let me know I will provide more :p

PS. it doesnt have to be accurate, I am just curious :D

It all depends on method you use and the files.

@KaktoR i just gave 8 thank's so congratulations on 4000 :D
