Has anyone thought about contacting Google?

Hello, again! Several things: 1) Huge apologies to the emule community for my absence. It looks like sharing is pretty solid now, but it's never good to have a 24/7 sharer drop out. My Opteron upgrade was a complete disaster. I've been out for almost 5 months. I'll be back up, for what it's worth. I...

Hard Drive with 230GB of tablebases, anyone?

Hey. I replaced a 250GB hard drive that I was using to store Tablebases. I am going to ebay it, but I thought I would check here if anyone wants it with the tablebases before I delete all the files and fdisk it. The drive: Western Digital WD2500YD 250GB, 16MB cache SATA 1.5Gbs 5-year warranty I boug...

Seeing that most people at ChessBase don't extensively use 6-man sets, I was worried that most people routed here for the 5-man set would lose interest and disappear, placing an unusually high load on those files from all parties... without the long-term return. The more I think about it, though, I ...

thank you

Excellent. Thanks. I do see the files being accessed now. And THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this community BTW. I've been pacing my cage waiting for something to happen ever since Hyatt's server got humped by UAB. On off hours I have a pretty awesome 84KB/s upload. Are there any particular files...

does the incomplete TB problem still exist?

I'm using ChessBase software, and it seems to me that the newer revisions (say, 2002 forward) don't suffer from the incomplete TB problem. I do extensive analysis with a completely unmatched set of 6-man TBs and I have experienced no problems of this kind whatever with either Shredder 8 or Fritz 8. ...

5-man TBs, limited bandwidth, and Hyatt's FTP site

Thought this was worth a new topic: It seems to me the "EGTB Online" site should first direct 5-man TB seekers to Hyatt's FTP site rather than to "practice using emule and download them by these links". Hyatt's site has all 3-, 4-, and 5-man TBs at spectacularly fast download rat...

linking shared directories

On a tangental subject.... I have about 100GB of tablebases already on my drive (from the erstwhile ftp server) that I am placing into shared folders once Wilhelm verifies their integrity. Is eMule intelligent enough to include these as sources for the identical emulecollection files? If not, how do...
