IIRC I have needed more than one hour to download them. I suggest to download Crafty from Dann Corbits's FTP-site where the bookfiles are compressed (ftp://38.168.214.175/pub/C17BOOKS.ZIP). So you will save some download-time. If you like download Frank Quisinsky's conig.zip-file from: http://www.in-trier.de/~quisinsky/schach/download/sonstige/config.zip You can copy proper settings from that file (10 minutes). But I suggest to download crafty.doc also and read it carefully. Best regards Volker Pittlik
