Hi,

After rebuilding my sets I must always use torrentzip. I believe many people too ;)

One great feature is to use the same standard as torrentzip to create the zip files...

Regards

clrmamepro don't use this library (torrentzip), it's Tadeusz Dracz's ZipArchive C++ classes.
So perhaps a new build is needed to have this possible feature.

Strangly you ask for it, I asked Roman, some weeks ago, a feature TO REMOVE IT !!
This part of archive are, sure...good, but USELESS.

What is the interress of torrentzip ?
I don't know.
Less errors on archive ?
I've got near never or no error on my zipfiles...

it won't happen

a) it will slow down everything
b) legal issues. I already had requests from "official sides" to kill any support of torrent zipped files.

If time is a concern of yours, just set the zip compressor level to zero in the settings area. This will speed up rebuild time, and since you always use TZ anyhow, you would be wasting time having the compression level set to anything else.

If time really is a concern, turn off recompressing ;) (at least this will speed up rebuilding).

Get bit by bit equal zips even if they are generated on different machines. It's great for torrents as this way you can join at a higher percentage...
