user28052: How can I download Syzygy tablebases (5-man or 6-man) as quickly as possible without clicking hundreds of links at a mirror? Is there a verified torrent available that will probably download faster and use less resources than a mirror?

user21513: The Internet Archive has torrents for the Syzygy (and other) tablebases
https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22tablebases%22
The file view gets a little confusing due to being classified as audio, but you will find the torrent files among them.
Syzygy 6-man WDL torrent
Syzygy 6-man DTZ torrent

user19202: This link is for 3+4+5: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=10530043.
As for 6 or 7, I'll try to find them later.

user28052: I found out wget supports mirror site listings, so I used
wget --mirror --no-parent --no-directories -e robots=off http://tablebase.sesse.net/syzygy/3-4-5/

It might take a few tries to download all files since occasionally 403 Forbidden is returned (maybe should wait between requests). Then run md5sum --check checksum.md5 to ensure everything is all downloaded. Still I think a torrent is a more robust way to download huge files.
