[ensembl-dev] Downloading lots of files from ensembl

[Stefano Giorgetti]

Dear Matthew,

Thanks for your email and apologies for this not-so-prompt response.

We have had some intermittent issues on FTP areas, mainly due to 
maintenance and upgrade activities, which might have affected long 
downloads.

If you want to reduce requests, you might want to try the 
"--wait=seconds", "--waitretry=seconds" or "--random-wait" options.
There is also the "--limit-rate=amount", but I am not aware of such a 
need on our side. To be confirmed.

In essence, you should be good with your `wget` command.

I am double checking a few details, just in case, but please feel free 
to retry.

Should you get significant amount of "connection refused" errors again, 
please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Kind regards

Stefano
