Hi, I have downloaded SRR files and now tend to use parallel-fastq-dump convert them to .fastq.gz files when i run "parallel-fastq-dump -t 4 -O ./fastq --split-files --gzip -s /public/home/mengqx/dengxsh/WorkSpace/Data/tmp/SRR18141793" under /tmp dir

Thanks!

Hi, parallel-fastq-dump is not developed by or supported by us. It is a 3rd party script - I do not know the origin of. If you are interested in a faster version of fastq-dump : download the newest toolkit form the NIH-website ( https://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/sdk/3.1.1/ ) and use the fasterq-dump tool. Run 'fasterq-dump -h' first - some of the options and defaults a different from fastq-dump. The new tool uses multiple threads internally ( and a temporary lookup-table where it helps ) to speed up the conversion from SRR to FASTQ/FASTA.

First of all - update the toolkit.
