Open up HDToolBox. On the change file system page, you should see a string gadget containing the max transfer value. Change it to 0x0001FE00. You might need to reformat afterwards.

It reduces the amount of data copied in a single "cycle" of a disk transfer operation. It's set fairly high by default (good for SCSI drives), but IDE drives tend to barf on it, resulting in corrupt data. The new values you've seen in this thread should help.

Also note that you need to make the change for every individual partition.

If you're new to the Amiga, be aware of the infamous >4GB problem. What size is your drive?

@ leytond

That setup is probably fine. You can verify it with Check4GB.

Are you still having problems unpacking the archive? Maybe your version of LhA is too old.
