Greetings,
This is my first posting, writing to say that earlier this week (Dec 4) I completed my egtb collection. Thank you to everyone who ever appeared in my download queue! I'm sharing all the 5-man and 6-man tablebases and hope to do so indefinitely.
So, how many complete collections of Nalimov tablebases are there? In discussing it briefly, Kirill and I estimate 7-8 with 5 being actively shared. If you have or are nearing a complete set (and aren't embarassed to admit), feel welcome to add yourself to this thread, mentioning when you finished your collection.
I think it would be a nice "christmas present" to Kirill if by the end of the year there are 10 complete sets shared. Then he can color all his smiley faces blue. Which he longs to do.

P.S. Okay, technically, no one has a complete 6-men set since the 5-1 bases that Martin and Guido are generating have not been cross-validated and converted to Nalimov format. Once done we can start a fresh thread then.
How many complete Nalimov sets are there?

Re: How many complete Nalimov sets are there?
Hi John!
I share complete set on one machine and about 300 GB on another machine. Finished downloading somewhere in October I guess (don't remember now). Also going to share indefinitely for as long as I can.

Yes that would be very nice!jkominek wrote:I think it would be a nice "christmas present" to Kirill if by the end of the year there are 10 complete sets shared. Then he can color all his smiley faces blue. Which he longs to do.

Hi John, hi Kirill,
I do share a complete set too, but as I posted earlier, I would like, if all of the members, who are able to, would use a eMule Mod with Webcache function. I use StulleMule 4.1, as this Mod does show the webcache hits and the amount of MB I transfer to the webcache.
I think, if 50 % of the members would use such a Mod with Webcache function, time for downloading would decrease to less than half of the time.
Regards,
Thomas

I think (guess) Dan Wulff and Keith Ian Price share full collections. This together with John, Thomas and me makes 5 complete sources for all files (if I am correct). Will be great to hear from anyone else sharing the full collection.
Also, did anyone see Renze sharing his files online recently (last 6 months)?

Count me into the 'finished club'. Been done for a few days, but so busy with moving haven't had a chance to post.
HUGE thanks go to jkominek for such a large amount of uploads to me. Everyone else that uploaded over the FTP site, or gave me any amount of data over eMule, I wanted to say 'thanks' to as well.
Over the next month I'll be shifting from the server to a line at my home, so the speed out of the server will likely drop by quite bit. I wish to continue to share these quickly until I have sent out at least 10 sets worth - from that point (probably still 2-3 months away), keep eMule running with at least a 100k/sec upload at all times.
