Hi @rafikhan

arc and srep it´s not the problem.

This is a common mistake from users,
Precomp has a weight limitation on files to compress.
Precomp only decompress files less than 1.99GB.
Pack-JPG.dll (By Matthias Stirner) have this limitation.

EXAMPLE:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

if you have a file with 9GB precomp compress all 9GB
BUT, only decompress 1.99GB and PIPE decompression will stop with errors.
and all this error for the limitation of file size.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

If you use precomp create folders to compress less than 1.99GB
