fastq-dump for downloading multiple sets reads?

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a simple way to use fastq-dump to download all the reads for a particular bacterial species, in the SRA database, as split files?

Thanks in advance!

Use sra-explorer: sra-explorer : find SRA and FastQ download URLs in a couple of clicks

Avoid fastq-dump when you can and download data from ENA.

Thank you for your help, sra-explorer looks great!
