The system restarted due to an unexpected issue during data processing.
I'm working with WinRar 6.24 to generate .rar archives. I have a large folder containing a 40GB ISO and two smaller .rar files. I included that folder in one archive, which reported a 30-minute duration. It claimed to be 0KB during compression but finished at 100%. However, it restarted before completion and ended up being only about 1KB. The file size dropped to 23% with an estimated 4-hour wait remaining. I stopped the process and tried again, adding the same folder, and it repeated the same behavior—restarting when it hit 100% and finishing much faster. This time it completed in just 50 minutes. This seems to be a two-pass compression: the first was likely a test, while the second performed the actual compression. It didn’t occur with a 2GB .mp4 file where real compression started immediately.
It might relate to how you're storing .rar files alongside .iso files that you're compressing. You shouldn't really pack compressed archives together—it often leads to bigger files and more problems. Especially if you nest them too many times, certain systems will mark them as suspicious, potentially triggering security alerts. A quick reminder: large ISO files of 40GB are unusually big for their purpose.
Confirm if the display reflects total advancement or only changes within individual files. Ensure that restarting merely initiates compression of the subsequent file in the directory.
I can't send a screenshot directly. Could you clarify what you mean by "why tf is the ISO 40GB"? I'm here to help explain it!
The folder contained an .iso file named A, along with B and C. After right-clicking the folder and selecting "Create .rar archive," the process began by adding A to the archive. It repeated this step until the archive reached 100%, then added B and C, completing the process. The re-adding of A happened because the software kept trying until it successfully included all files.
