This page that I found in the thread:

http://olympuschess.com/egtb/gaviota/

only has download links for 121 *.bz2 files

It looks like Joshua is updating the page now, as I find it unlikely that I didn't see the 11 missing files earlier.

I'll check back later or tomorrow for the other 24.

Thanks
Since you were downloading while he was uploading, now I strongly recommend to run tbcheck after decompressing to make sure everything is fine.

I got all 45 now.

I am installing a secondary SATA drive on my current old pc, as I don't have enough space to uncompress to run tbcheck!

Are you planning to release a version that will be able to query the files in a compressed state, and also provide a compressor utility get the files in a compressed ready to query state?

Thanks

Yes, that is what I will do soon. I have it already but I am trying to make it a bit more.
friendly before I release it. I will have to release a new version of gaviota that reads compressed files, but to do so, I will like to have it in an internal format that would be compatible to the probing code I will release too. I am close to finish, but reorganizing the internal code takes time.

Tbcheck confirms that all 145 files are correct!

Josh - Thanks for hosting.
