You'll find a few 6-piece tablebases at ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/six

If you remember that these are the compressed tablebases, and they have to be
generated in their uncompressed form (5 to 10 times bigger) you'll get an idea
of the memory requirements. TBGEN is able to generate 6-piece tablebases, but
you'll need to recompile the source code (it's also on this ftp site) and run it
on a 64-bit operating system with more than 2 GB of memory. Poor Windows :(
