any type of fixing a 7z is like waiting for next year and with >10k of files this is going to be a red flag

how can I change clrmame so archive fixing is done with maximal speed regardless the filespace needed?

use zip

I try uncompressed merged sets now to check if this is the "fastest"

problem is that checking 50g of roms is much slower then redownload 50g fresh set from torrent

I can download torrent with 23mbit and I think checking fixing with clrmame is just much slower then just redownload the full set

but I try out some ways now (zip, uncompresses) and will report soon

Where is the sense in comparing download speed against compression speed? If it's faster for you, fine.
clrmame is not about downloading.
Besides of that, scanning a full MAME collection (roughly 428 GB with chds) with standard parameters (not decompressing to calc sha1) is just a couple of minutes and just seconds if everything is in the diskcache.....not even speaking of ssds here.
If users want to go for speed, they should simply not use 7z, solid archives or stuff like t7z.
