Downloading data from MG-RAST server ('Moving Pictures of the Human Microbiome' project)

Hi, I'm trying to download data from the MG-RAST server but I'm not able to do it. Data are from the project 'Moving Pictures of the Human Microbiome' (IDs 4457768.3-4459735.3) and I want passed files (100.1). I 'm not sure if it is up to me or the server.

I've tried several steps:

  1. I've tried to download it through Python script by using wget and MG-RAST API (url = 'http://api.metagenomics.anl.gov/download/mgm' + str(id) + '.3?file=100.1'), where I looped IDs in the given range (that's the part str(id) in the url above). This only finds given IDs and don't start the download (everything is 0)
  2. If I fixed ID and tried to access the above url with this ID (e.g. http://api.metagenomics.anl.gov/download/mgm4457768.3?file=100.1) through Browser (Opera, Microsoft Edge), the requested file would only appear in the download list of my Browser with all 0 (0MB, 0%) and it would stay that way for a long time (until I stop him since I need to shut down the computer to rest).
  3. Neither the direct download from https://www.mg-rast.org/mgmain.html?mgpage=download&metagenome=mgm4457768.3 have helped.

I have this issue for more than two weeks and at any time of the day. Did anyone have the same problem or have any ideas?
