Default 100 million FICS games

Dear all,

Here is a .torrent file for all recorded FICS games from November 1999
onwards.
The games haven been converted into PGN format and verified.

If there are no seeds please send me an e-mail. I attempt to keep at
least
one seed with sufficient bandwidth alive at all times, but it is not
automated.

Torrent file: http://marcelk.net/logics/FICS-games...200910.torrent

Contents looks like this:

FICS-games/
fics-1999-11.pgn.bz2
fics-1999-12.pgn.bz2
fics-2000-01.pgn.bz2
... etc ...
fics-2009-08.pgn.bz2
fics-2009-09.pgn.bz2
fics-2009-10.pgn.bz2

The total number of games is over 100 million.
The total download size is around 15GB, zipped.

http://ficsgames.com/ has a searchable version of this data online.

ALL recorded FICS games? I suppose that must include those lo-fi,
substandard 1-minute bullet games.
I find the idea of possessing a 100,000,000 game database
fascinating... But I would think that the download would take over a
week; wouldn't a cbh file be a ¼ of the size?

Out of all the games are there two games just like each other or is
every game different ?
