Download issues with the 2023-nr-clustering sqlite file

[Mohammed-Quraishi]

Hello preHGT developers,

I am currently unable to fully download the nr_cluster_taxid_formatted_final.sqlite file from https://osf.io/5qj7e/download (all the other databases downloaded perfectly). Every time I try to download it, Regardless of if use a CLI or Chrome to download it, it always fails at 54.89 GB, and when using chrome I get the "Failed - Network Error" message. I have ensured that I have enough storage to download the file, and have tried to troubleshoot the issue by using different networks, browsers, as well as the nohup command. I have tried to use a download manager, but that too fails at 54.89 and reports that the "direct download link invalid".

Could you advise me on how to solve this issue?

Thank you, Mohammed Quraishi

Hi @Mohammed-Quraishi, I can't think of any reasons why that would be happening. Here is the direct link in google drive, can you try and download it from here instead? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fa09Qq5S47e3Rxxd4hz3rw0XHklK6ezr/view?usp=drive_link

Hello @taylorreiter,

Thank you for responding so quickly! The new link still failed at around 50 GB; however, I was able to seamlessly resume the download using Google Chrome without it restarting from the very beginning. I hypothesize that the issue may lie within downloading from Google Drive itself, though it seems to be resolvable if the direct download link is being used. I apologize for not being able to provide more information on the issue and how to recreate it, but I hope this helps.
