The correct answer is "fastq-dump --table SEQUENCE SRR8523633". And I know the reason.

What you write here sounds rather disrespectful/arrogant towards the three users trying to provide help. Maybe an issue with the language barrier and you did not intend to sound disrespect, still this is not the way one should interact with other users.

It would also be good if you share why your solution worked given you know the answer, this would help others in the future. YOu can use the edit function to add that to your answer.
