This is the settings I used, I did not find "zlib" so I used xtool:mzlib, I don't know which one I should use: https://imgur.com/a/cbGueNR
What am I doing wrong?

1) Xtool [currently: zlib] (Only decompresses files for better compression)
2) Deduplicator [srep] (Removes repetitions)
3) Compressor [lolz/lzma/7z/...] (lolz better but slower then others)
Example for DiskSpan: xtool:mzlib+srep_new:1+LOLZ_NORMAL or xtool:mzlib+srep_new:1+lzma2

p.s. You do not need to prescribe anything yourself, everything can be selected in the program itself

Thanks, gonna try tomorrow. So if I understand using only xtool:zlib only decompressed files for me but not compressed it again and hence I got that size
By the way, what does NORMAL mean after LOLZ? It means compression level or thread priotity?

Lolz: From the bottom up, from the weakest compression to the strongest, but the stronger the compression, the more time will be spent on it. Normal, High, ... its just presets.
You can read all info about lolz here [But in Russian] [You can use the translator] https://krinkels.org/resources/lolz.264/
