You can get the full set at Dr. Hyatt's ftp site.  The set I listed is just a
subset.

Anyway, just supply anonymous as the user name and your email alias as the
password.

If you still have a problem let me know.  There is also a subdirectory where you
can pick them up one by one:
ftp://38.168.214.175/pub/nalimovc/

If you do mode binary, turn prompt off, and mget *, you should get the whole
bunch in two shakes.  It has been reported to me that the UAB site is much
faster for some people.  I have had people get 50K/sec speeds, but it seems to
be largely a function of how many are attached.

Here is the address for the "official" ftp site for the tablebase files.  It has
all the 5 piece files published as well:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/

Here is the official site for Crafty, version 16:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/v16/
