AH ok! You have to know that the current detection is only to speed compression up by a huge amount without loss of much compression ratio. Maybe later there will be some more specific text models.
LPAQ8 recently got many improvements on text compression so it could be that it beats PAQ there.
I copied all content of the page and put it to a text file. Compression works great
Code:
paq8q_sse2b_intel.exe -5 -m6 out utf.txt
Creating archive out.paq8q with 1 file(s)...
ascii.txt 24036 -> (24036 bytes) 6403
24036 -> 6432

paq8q_sse2b_intel.exe -5 -m5 out utf.txt
