is there a faster way to download large sequencing data from NCBI?

Hello everyone,

I'm searching for a faster way to download data that occur in GigaBytes and takes a very long time to be downloaded from the NCBI website. Is there a command line option to split memory and make the process faster?

Thanks

Please give some details on what you want to download.

I've made very good experiences with ascp instead of regular FTP

The NCBI book will tell you where to download it and how to set it up: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK158899/
