What do you think about it? Best regards!

database update_blastdb.pl blast

You are probably having network issues. See if you can download the required files separately and then have the update script use those files.

I don't think that it's a network. I use a dedicated server from some company which is quite stable. And the program gives this error only after the first file is fully downloaded. Thanks for your suggestion, I will try other ways)

Maybe try on a different machine just in case, or download manually and verify using checksums - that might give you an idea on why the error is happening.

I think I'll download fasta records for all proteins from refseq and after that, I am going to concatenate these files in one and run makeblastdb from blast+...
