All * .ff files 10870.08Mb I passed through precompressor (most files are already compressed precomporsssor such as xTool can extract these files) xTool_lz4 which gave me a result of 24633.98 Mb Then I used srep (the tool finds the same files and duplicates) which gave me 9113.11 Mb. And for all this I use the LOLZ compressor (currently one of the best compressors for graphics files) which gives me 2,766.74 Mb which gives an amazing 25.45% result. But not every file type gives the best result for LOLZ compression. For some, it is a razor compressor for others LZMA and different for audio files. There is simply no one method.
There's a great FitGirl post on the web about compression. I recommend you to find it and read it there is probably everything you need to know about compression these days ^^ And I think that as simple as it was explained there, it cannot be easier ^^ And above all, beautifully written

What code used for xtool?
