Subject: Is DSL fast enough to download 6 man Tablebases?

I am presently using a DSL Connection........Will that be fast enough for
downloading 6 man Tablebases.?
I have created 4 partitions on my 80 gig Harddrive.

C: Drive 20 gig for my OS and some basic applications like MS OFFICE and CD/DVD
Writing Program, Back up programs.

D: Drive 12 GIG, for Chess Programs and other Miscellaneous Applications.

E: Drive 12 Gig, for most saved Documents that I manually save when saving from
an Application like Word or Excel or Fritz 8 etc., or Copied and Pasted folders
and Files from Floppy or CD/DVD.

F:Drive 30 Gig, for Tablebase files only.

Also, my Tablebase folder is in a partioned logical drive. The drive is 30 Gig.
The Tablebase files I already have (All 3,4 and 5 men) is using well over 7 Gig.
Since I will only have 23 remaining Gig to use,do you have any suggestions, as
to what 6 man Tablebases are more important?
And lastly, since with only one partition, it is recommended to always leave
10-20 percent of empty harddrive space, for various reasons...(Operating System
and Swapping being some of them), with a partitioned Harddrive, should I leave
some empty space on the drive I am using for the Tablebases?

Thanks
Brian
