“shrinked”? - Ahruman 02:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC) reply

The link to the comparisson is on registration required site. should this be stated in the link?

rzip indeed works really well on large files. Trying to compress a 4.5GB vmdk (vmware image) file gave a better(1.92G) compression, compared to 7z (2.07G), rar (2.21G), bzip2 (2.44G).

Uncompressing was another matter though, the resulting file was truncated to 800M. It looks like 4GB is the limit, at least on a 32bit linux system.

Perhaps there was another reason for the truncation; was the machine perhaps out of disk-space? Sladen
