magicblast errors using SRA

Hi,

anyone using magicblast to search SRAs ? I find that some SRAs work while others give errors like below. Also anyone know who to ask??

Thanks,

S.

ah I worked it out - they are protected SRAs.. so if you are scripting against their full list of experiments, you have to filter them out.. or ignore the errors. Annoyingly the read data is deemed to contain individual person data so there's no way to get around it.
