Downloading exomiser data

Hello, I see that data for The Exomiser is no longer hosted at the Sanger Institute but is instead found on The Monarch Initiative website (and the newest release is on GitHub). Problem is, the connection speed is about 30 kb/sec to here (Brazil). I was wondering if anyone knew of any mirror. Thank you!

For reference, I didn't find any mirrors. Best workaround was to use aria2 to download data with several concurring connections. This reduced the total download time of the 16GB "1811_hg19.zip" data file from an estimated 6-7 days to 30 hours.

My pleasure! I actually received a reply from the staff at Monarch Initiative, they now installed new network cards and the speed has increased dramatically.
