Use chunk-based LZ4 compression when creating the AssetBundle.
When chunk-based compression is used, the content of the AssetBundle is broken into individual segments, which are compressed independently using the CompressionType.Lz4HC algorithm.
The resulting file is typically larger than the full-file compression which is used by default,
but AssetBundles built with this format can be loaded incrementally, e.g. without decompressing the full contents into memory.
This is the default format used for AssetBundles stored in the AssetBundle Cache.

//Create a folder (right click in the Assets folder and go to Create>Folder), and name it “Editor” if it doesn’t already exist //Place this script in the Editor folder
//This script creates a new Menu named “Build Asset” and new options within the menu named “Normal” and “Chunk Based Compression”. Click these menu items to build an AssetBundle.
