How did you proceed, for clarity's sake?
    

Well, that really a two part question :)

To create the database I used DownLoadThemAll! (a Firefox extension) to
down load all of the TWIC zip files at one time. Then I used 7-zip to
extract all of the files to a temp folder. I appended all of the files
together using an MS-DOS command.
  
On linux i use this little script:

#!/bin/sh
FIRST="$1"
LAST="$2"

while [  $FIRST -le $LAST ]; do
   URL="http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/zips/twic${FIRST}g.zip";
   wget $URL -nv 2>>wget-twic.log   
   let FIRST=FIRST+1
done

unzip \*.zip
rm *.zip
ALLFILE="twic${1}-${LAST}"
cat *.pgn > $ALLFILE
rm *.pgn
mv "$ALLFILE" "${ALLFILE}.pgn"

Then SCID was used to spell check, update ECO and find duplicates. See
attached for the options I used to find the duplicates.

  
That's the annoying part: thanks for your work!
