In need of crazy compression
mcm 0.83 : https://github.com/mathieuchartier/mcm/tree/v0.83
- Is there any research as to what's the best way to compress each file type?
- Don't Use RAR
- Is 7zip with lzma2 the best tradeoff between compression speed and decompression speed?
-
Help me out with some compression tips
A good trade-off is mcm : it uses SSE2 and MMX. It is not as good as zpaq, but it is better than LZMA2 (7zip) and really faster than zpaq. https://github.com/mathieuchartier/mcm

Don't Use RAR
Par2 is always an option, and RAR implements Reed-Solomon error correcting codes and there are many recent implementations of those: https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon.

Error correction question
Are you trying to implement something like this project: https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon
-
Reed-Solomon error recovery in RAID-6
This isn't a turn key utility, but it's relatively easy to call from Go. It allows you to set the number of data shards and parity shards, it's pretty fast. It's at
