Re: re 5-1 EGTB statistics

Th ese results are quite reasonable, especially if there were many like pieces in the ending, as FEG does not implement permutation symmetry until the final compression stage. -Marc The egtb I had generated was knnnnk. Thanks for clearing up the size problem for me. Once things settle a bit I'll pu...

Re: re 5-1 EGTB statistics

Greetings, FEG.exe did complete a 5-1 egtb successfully.. or *I guess successfully* However it seems odd. When I had checked the status.. the temp directory had over 1.6gigs of data for the current egtb. Once it finished, cleared the temp data... the resulting 5-1 egtb was less than 100 megs. Think ...

Currently uploading kbpknp

I see from the logs that bandwith has died down a lot the past couple days so it's time to put a new fresh set online. Currently uploading kbpknp. As usual ignore the last file in the list, as that's the one I'm currently uploading. On a fun note, my server has served 1899585095 bytes of data to peo...

Taking a hiatus from computer chess.

Greetings everyone, I'm going to take a couple months break from computer chess. I'm now working a full time job, part time job and 2 contract jobs while also attending college.

KQQQQK

I generated KQK, KQQK, KQQQK, and in the process of generating KQQQQK *crossing fingers* if it doesnt crash I'll share the egtb. One thing I noticed that might be a problem, it's creating a lot of small files. Last count was over 12k files. So wondering if it's crashing because it's hitting the max ...

Anyone know where I can find datacomp.exe? Better yet source code or a linux executable, though the .exe would suffice. I had it a while ago, but recently had to rebuild my system and lost it.

Thank you for your effort.

emule sha specs

Anyone know what form of sha emule uses for data integrity?

I'm working on my verification program, implemented md5sum checks, and wanted to move on to sha. Since emule uses sha, it would make gathering the shasums for all the files easier :)

Thanks for your time

Hi Josh, you will finish uploading KQPKRN soon. Could KQPKBP be the next set you provide? It is a set with few Clients, who do share it. Would it generally be possible for you, to upload some very rare files (not full sets!) out of TB42p ? For a few files from TB42p Dan still is the only source ava...

Hi Josh, we are not affected of this case. eDonkey, not eMule has been shut down.

I read on slashdot about emule closing shop and paying the RIAA 30million US rather than go to court over possible copyright infringment. Will this effect us? It seems emule is really serverless so in a way emule is just a client from what I've seen, and there are alternative open source clients lik...
