You could try using the "DownThemAll!" download manager and the Md5Checker program to check the hashes.

The DownThemAll! browser extension doesn't yet work in Firefox Quantum.

Just try to keep your download speeds reasonably low, as the syzygy web site owner has limited bandwidth and detests download accelerators.

Note that you will also get an exception when probing 6-men Syzygy under a 32-bit Windoze.

Thanks everybody for the help, I will try again in January, CableOne my internet provider punishes people who downloads too much so it will be next month before I can try again. My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, I have Windows 10 64-bit for a new build.
With the ChessBase Endgame Turbo 4 Syzygy Tablebases I have had zero problems so I'm hopeful soon I can use the full set of tablebases.

If you still have your torrents you can do a verify database files, an option in the bittorrent client, to make sure they are all right.
Deasil is the right way to go.

I have nalimov-6 stored on my external disk [1.11 TB]

Is available for download from http://tablebase.sesse.net/

Question for Joshua Shriver:

Should nalimov-6 be available for download through olympus chess?
