Yes, 7-men is very interesting and I'm thrilled to imagine the complete 7-men set. Well, now we are struggling to share all 6-men files online, and I think it will still take some time, may be one or two years.. We are have good progress, but from now the remaining bases will be more hard to find. I...

I agree, and I can only add that everyone releasing new files should check md5 first. All files that I share are checked. One problem is that we don't have all original md5sum information, but someday we will fix it. I've certainly had a file fail this MD5sum-check after downloading: I think it was ...

Hi Renze, thanks for checking.

Guys, take a look at new files shared by Dan! It will take a while to get them from him though...

Very interesting, thanks, Peter. So, now we already have four different lists to help choosing download order. :-) I was thinking to have similar statistics, but constructed starting at 7-men positions, one capture before convertion into 6-men endgame. This is because engines can use tablebases duri...

Thanks, Dan! I started downloading them, and soon will add to the index page!

Hi Dan, I don't have those, sorry!

My request is more simple:

krnkrn
krbkrn
krbkrb

and

kbpknp
krpknp
krpkbp

Can anyone share them? Thanks!

Two more:
kbpkbp.1.nbw.emb and kbpkbp.5.nbw.emb, both shared by Alb.

Thanks, French-Phil-;-)!

More broken files:
krppkq.1.nbb.emd shared by Alb.
krppkq.0.nbb.emd shared by Cato the Younger.

Please take care!

Hi TrondSvane,

You can try aMule. It is a cross-platform variant of eMule, which has Mac OS X port too.

Hi all, In this thread, following Dan's idea, we will post warnings about damaged files found on eMule search. It's easy to see them - damaged file has same name and size with normal file, but different hash. Corrupted files usually have just one source, while the correct file should have more. The ...

Hi Cato, thanks for the list, I'm sure it will be helpful to many people. I myself am aiming for the whole 1.2 TB, but still checking this list may be good to decide the order.

For completeness, here is one more list of endgame frequencies.

If you want to help download speeds for tablebases then BY ALL MEANS get the frigging (sorry) flyfishing videos OFF your shared folders! Oh man, the idea that casting a line into a pond can compare with computer chess... :-) Well, I don't give a crap about fishing, but if someone likes it it's alri...

I forgot to tell how to set a friend slot: First you add someone into "friends": right click -> "Add To Friends". Second, you switch to "Messages" view in eMule, there you right click on that friend, and in menu choose "Establish Friend Slot". By this way that...

Hi Gordon! In standard eMule client you can set only one person as a friend. To set another one you have to 'unset' the first one first.. Friend slot may be useful, but I don't use it currently. Another thing that can help is setting tablebase files upload priority to "high" or "relea...

Hi all,

Let's share here useful EGTB links from all over the internet.

As a starter, most basic ones:
