Thank you very much!

I've heard that Precomp 0.41+ uses bZip2 compression by default and some recommend to use "-c-" argument to turn it off. Can you plz comment on that and (maybe) tell me how to do it in UltraArc? Can I use something like -m4?

Thank you very much anyway! Cheers! ;-)

yes, Disabling precomp's default compression gives u better compression ratio if u r planning to compress it further with better compressors like lzma

second thing, you don't have to do anything to do so, ultraARC does this work for u
simply add the source directory, chose the your compression parameters (u can use prcomp,srep,delta,lzma, will yield u best results) and then the output directory
one more thing use precomp version 0.38 this the stablest versio

Wow, this is very surprising.. 0.38? wow, I thought that the newer version == better..

Thank you!

Newer Versions Has Bugs and Bugs, they got nothing new bt the in-built compression

but 0.38 seems to be waaay slower in both compression and decompression o_O

and output file seems to be of the same size (exactly)

I'm not sure now, guess me perception of time is not consistent =)
