The monthly database at over 60GB is totally unmanageable - attempting to reduce the games sans comments, annotations and with a standard PGN header takes literally days on my i7.
Its a valuable resource and a pity that only a handful of very high-end machine owners get to reduce the database to just the raw games.
The number of games played is increasing monthly and it might be an idea for LiChess to publish on a weekly cycle rather than the current monthly or even daily.
