Hi,
I am trying to download the endgame tablebases (just two files that I want) from the Hyatt/Crafty darkside site.
But my connection is pretty slow. So I have tried using softwares like DAP but they ask for username and password.
The 'anonymous' user name and password doesnt seem to work.
Does any body have any suggestions on how i go about downloading using any software (which is a good s/w) and what should be the password and username required for the FTP site.
Thnx in advance

Generate them yourself. Much simpler and if you have a slow connection may turn out to be faster.

Perhaps you'll have an easier time downloading them from http://www.chesslib.no/Nalimov.htm

Hyatt's site has been difficult to access the past few months.

Generating endgame tablebases takes much longer than downloading, even on the slowest of internet connections. And if you're looking for a download accelerator try http://freedownloadmanager.org
