Not from over here - couldn't get too much files with my 56k connect yet
(DSL ahead in 3 weeks, yay!).

I really don't know if these samples are worth it. They are recorded at a
really low level (some have less than -30dB), which wouldn't be too tragical
if there was no background noise at all, but unfortunately on some
(especially the piano ones) there is.
I also seem to experience download problems - apart from the fact that the
links sometimes are resumable, sometimes they aren't (which was allready
driving me mad), I had some really nasty spikes in some samples.

Seems they just recorded chromatic scales in octaves - so yes, you'd need to
chop them. But (unless you'd want to set loop points) you could just do that
in the EXS editor itself, so one file could suit one octave of zones.
