bulk download in ENCODE

Hi,

I'm trying to download several experiments in bulk from https://www.encodeproject.org/. I use the filters in the experiment matrix and I come up with 97 datasets. I am only interested in bed narrowPeak files (in available data), thus I select only that category. But when I click download I get only the ID of the experiments (files.txt).

When I execute the command to download by ID (xargs -n 1 curl -O -L < ../files.txt) I get hundreds of bed files instead of just the 97 files I'm interested. Any idea on how to properly do this?

Thanks in advance.

try ENCODExplorer package if you use R. http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ENCODExplorer.html
