-Razor I'd like to ask you because i saw a Zlib1.dll which is around 50 kb , the one we use is around 100 KB I found it in SYter Repacks so any difference ??

Well zlib1.dll is a library older versions of precomp used, precomp038-042, basically all precomp executables less than 500kb in size, if more than, it means zlib library is compiled along with exe.

-zlib1.dll as well, 59kb and 100kb, same difference, the 100kb is the latest, I grabbed it from zlib site, there definitely is a reason for the update, so why not grab it, initially it was 59kb zlib1.dll.
the same as FitGirl the both are using Zlib1.dll with precomp038 which is 59 KB Those 2 Guys are using same methods / tools almost the same

the usage of different zlib1.dll doesn't improve compression, plus a lot of people include the library even when its not used, once precomp.exe is more than 500kb or rather 800kb to be safe, it means the exe comes with compiled zlib functions.

-Same as precomp 321KB , original ~600kb less size than usual so is they using a modified version or they are basically compressing it ??

-_-, ever heard of different zlib versions? 321kb is bascially precomp0.38 that uses zlib1.dll.

-also precomop043

1.015 KB is original size, 1.160 KB version contains cls patch that allows for cls-precomp.dll to be able to show progress when decompressing, without patch, either you don't get progress of extraction or cls fails, this patch is made available to every one, it's made by ProFrager.
