I could install NTAS and allow thousands of connections.  The problem is the
workstation is what I use at work to accomplish "actual work" (at least that's
the plan).  Anyway, when 10 people with fast links are downloading, I can
already feel the pull on the machine.  I have not been able to get space on our
commercial ftp site.  Linux and Freebsd, NetBSD, etc. are right out, because I
write commercial products on that particular machine, and need to test them on
Windows NT, which is the intended target.

It's currently over 500 megs decompressed and contains many examples of every
single opening from A00 to E99.

I would be all for it.  If you downloaded before yesterday, then you don't have
my latest stuff, though.  Also, the CDB stuff has not been updated yet.  They
are still generated from the 330 meg "brick" collection.
