Currently the extended set of gene families requires 5.8GB of space when compressed. This makes the download cumbersome for many people outside UC Davis. The size could be reduced be eliminating the .stk file and regenerating it after download during the marker index step. It might also be possible to generate the .hmm after download, and it's usually the 2nd largest after the .stk.
