The 10 CD set contains all through 5 man without the KxxxxK files which I think nobody needs. They are both compressed and should add up to a little over 6 Gigabytes for the 10 CD set. Uncompressed they are around 18 G. It's generally faster to download them than to generated them unless you have a slow modem or a very fast machine with a lot of ram. Jim Walker
