Downloading the executable is not a great affair (about 500K). But Crafty has
large books (~13 MB). 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
