Hello, I have been working on downloading a large series of subjects through an HPC. The log files are being stored within the NDA file located in my home directory however, I only have a limited amount of storage within my home dir and was wondering if there is a specific parameter that could be added that offers users the ability to store the log files in a different location?

this can be done with the -d command line argument. You can see usage information and details for other flags by running downloadcmd -h

When I use the -d command it does not put the log file in the specified directory it still places the file in ~/NDA/nda-tools/downloadcmd/logs

I apologize, I misread the original comment. There is currently no way to change the location where nda-tools writes logs, but I dont think the default logging config is expected to generate large files. What is the size of the large log file on your machine, and what is the name of the file?
