Problems with downloading all.gxi and all.gxs files #85

Closed qb-lyu closed 1 week ago

qb-lyu commented 1 month ago

I found that downloading the database via sync_files.py was very slow, especially for all.gxi and all.gxs files. How do I download this data through Aspera? This will greatly improve download speed.

I can find FCS directory in the address (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/public/), but there's no "database" in the directory. However, I can through the browser to the address https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/TOOLS/FCS/database/latest/

Can you try this: ascp -QT -l1g -i <key> anonftp@ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:/genomes/TOOLS/FCS/database/latest/all.gxi /path/to/local/all.gxi

You might want to change the transfer rate if needed
