Yes, there's a size limit. The Wii only has so much memory. You're best to use 
lower 
compression settings or switch to zip. Nothing I can do, really - but I'll keep 
it 
in mind.

This has more to do with the limited memory available on the Wii; you need to 
reduce 
your dictionary size to about 1 MB when compressing the 7-zip archives.  When 
you're 
making the .7z, there should also be text in the creation windows that shows 
"Memory 
usage for Decompressing: XX MB". As long as this shows 3 or 5 MB, you'll be 
fine.
