You probably know the site from Aaron Tay:

http://www.chesskit.com/aarontay/Winboard/openingbook.html

there are several sources listed.

On Dan Corbitt's FTP there are in the folder /contrib some collections, which
you can try. There are "cleaned" colections from Arturo Ochoa, unfortunately the
files seems to be corrupt. I already wrote Dan a message, but it seems he wasn't
able to repair them.
