You can make a somewhat educated guess by comparing the difference in size between the 5-man Nalimov (7.6 GB, from what I've been told, although I've heard 7.2 GB) and de Koning formats (5.6 GB). So, with the de Koning format taking up roughly 20% less size than the Nalimov, I would STILL guess that the total size of the 6-man files would be over (or close to) 1 TB, since I have seen estimates for the 6-man Nalimov to be as much as 2 TB. jm
