I have used them all at one point, but just like you I have run out of hard
drive space in my beast. Now all total I use 523.71gb of tablebases when playing
online. I use Hiarcs and Crafty, and I believe those are the only two that
support 6man bases at this time.

The start up time for each program is considerable. In fact just last night I
saw a position where Hiarcs thought it was up +2.35 then the 6man tbs clicked in
and suddenly it found a mate in 42 moves. I will find the exact game and
position and post it here.

I have them all. Either on my hard drives, or backed up on DVD. I do have them
all though. Just ask my provider who cried over the bandwidth I used :)

I downloaded roughly 10.5GB nightly until I had them all. Depending on the ftp's
speed, I seen a high of downloading 38.94GB in one night.
