Unable to download Bulk data of sra at once using PREFETCH

Hi i have a list of SRA IDs and im trying to download in one go so im using:

sort sraids.txt | parallel -j 4 "prefetch {}"

Im getting the following error for all sra ids:

2018-11-13T07:06:24 prefetch.2.8.2 err: libs/vfs/resolver.c:3350:VResolverQueryPath: path not found

Then i tried to download the individual SRA id:

prefetch ERR133900

It is giving these log messages:

2018-11-13T04:27:21 prefetch.2.8.2: 1) Downloading 'ERR133900'...

But no file present if it downloaded? i tried the same command again it says:

2018-11-13T07:12:40 prefetch.2.8.2: 1) 'ERR133900' is found locally
2018-11-13T07:12:47 prefetch.2.8.2: 'ERR133900' has 0 unresolved dependencies
2018-11-13T07:13:09 prefetch.2.8.2: 'ERR133900' has no remote vdbcache

Im confused! Can anyone help.
