Most recent... 2006??
Mantis will download players in 5000 player "chunks." You should see messages similar to "5000 players downloaded, beginning processing" and "Processing complete, downloading next batch". Each of these messages should have a date in them, so you can see that you are getting closer to today (meaning you will be up to date). If the download takes too long, cancel the download and then start it again at a later time. The download will continue right where it left off and will not re-download everything you have already downloaded.
