It took 24h 21 min to generate all 5men EGTBs on my Quad. Tbcheck gave no errors.
Now I only need to compress them, which might take some hours again.

But still much faster than downloading. :D
Hmmm, depends on your download speed. When I downloaded all 5men Gaviota files I was lucky to use a very fast link, and it took me less than 2 hours.
He stated in his opening post that his downloading speed is 384kb/s which means it would take him roughly 38 hours to download all in the smallest case.
Ok, it seems I missed that detail, thanks for pointing this out.
