If you want to add 6-man tables, just buy every disk you can get your hands on. 256 megs of ram is not nearly enough. To download them, find someone with a fast net tap. If you have a friend at a local univeristy, they usually have a backbone net tap on most campuses. I can download all 3,4,5 man tablebase files in one night from UAB, and there is no way I could compute them that fast. You'll have to ask Eugene how large the full 6 man set will be.
