If you have a slow link, it is much smarter to download the files individually. The directory a-openings has all the ECO A files, the directory b-openings has the ECO B files, etc. Suggestion: Connect with command line ftp and log on as anonymous (if you don't want to enter your real email name, please no swear words in your fake email name -- that bugs me. Besides which I can find out who you are anyway with traceroute and I see your host plainly at connection time.). After changing directory to pub/a-openings, set the mode to binary and do a mget * command to collect all of the a files. Then start up 4 more threads and do the same thing for b,c,d,e. There's a lot more chess stuff there too. Have fun.
