The knpkb.nbb and nbw files are respectively 27.3 and 68.0 Mb . I guess with a
high speed connection it's easier to download them, like from:

ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/five/

It may take a few hours, but generating could take all day or longer - depending
on hardware.

The tablebase generator tells me if I generate all three, four and five pieces,
it costs me 8.2 Gb. Is that right, or just an estimate? Well, it's a lot.
