Hi Franz,
I was only guessing as to the size of the tablebases.
I'm sure Dr. Hyatt could state exactly what the total size of
all the 5 men bases is. Taking a better look at the size of
my harddrive and what else is on it maybe 6 GB is a better guess.
I did do one otherthing. I just now starting downloading a 6 man file
as it was the only way I could think of to check the speeds and the
download file speed is 122/kb sec.
Sarah.
