this week, i wanted to download a couple old games made for phones, they were in the j2me format
there are usually about 20 different hashes of files for the same* game, and these were in 80gb+ archives
the files were usually around 100-200kb a piece, so navigating these archives through archive.org took multiple hours to render all the hyperlinks to the files in the browser

you really don't need to archive by quantity
you don't need that, nobody needs that

*while the game title was the same, because of different spec phones there were different resolutions they would try to render in, or different art assets, or different music, or language packs, or the distributor's logo, etc

Let it die.

The computer can improve space later, but it can't improve quality without you verifying the results.

Quality. Then use WinRAR with recovery record.

AI can upscale content and it will be better in the future.
