Hi

Thank you so much for making this amazing program !!

I just installed it, but before I use, I just have 2 questions

  1. Does this program support ASPERA?

  2. Does this program can handle with NCBI guide line on request upper limit? (They say "Make no more than 3 requests every 1 second")

Thanks for reading !

Hi @acuacal, Glad to hear you like the program. I hope it's useful for you. To answer your questions:

  1. All downloads are performed via https using NCBI's API, so, no ASPERA is not used.
  2. NCBI Mass Sequence downloader will conform to the limit of less than 3 requests per second - no need to worry. If you need further help, just ask away.

Closing, since this seems to be solved.
