I hate to be a pain in the butt, but would it be possible for you to
split the files.


It would, and I'm going to be doing some weird things with them that
might help you, but it shouldn't be a problem even now.

I've only got a lowly dial up connection and it would
take me 4 1/2 days to download just the eastern set. If you could
split it up a little, I could download it over roughly a week and a half
of nights.


You can split them on your own. I'm running Apache so byterange
requests are well supported. You should be able to request any portion
of the files.

If you don't know what that means...find an HTTP client that supports
"resuming downloads", "continuing downloads" or "regetting".

BTW, I've had bandwidth problems. I noticed I was only serving about
1Mbps last night so I filed a report. This morning I was up to 2.5Mbps
but now I'm down around 1.5Mbps. I hope to get it up to at least 5Mbps.
