Just a few more thoughts on compression.

I always send plain uncompressed packets. For nodes that want compression I use zip. It is well tested and always works.

I have seen errors with rar compression with hpt. hpt reports a permanent error and the node or point will never receive that message. I will uncompress rar files if received but I never pack with rar.

That was not a Mystic error, that was my experience with hpt. Mystic may compress and uncompress with rar without issue, I don't know because I haven't tested it. That's just a heads up. I find zip/unzip to be a good safe choice.
