Hi all,

I'm trying to download some files from GEO using the following code on a cluster:

#!/bin/bash

# Load modules
module load SRA-Toolkit/2.9.6-1-centos_linux64 # Load the SRA toolkit
# Get the fastq files       
fasterq-dump SRR11567291 -O /scratch/goettel_lab/Yoesefi_2022/'Data_fastq' -t /scratch/goettel_lab

However I get the following error (repeatedly)

2022-03-09T15:07:37 fasterq-dump.2.9.6 err: file unauthorized while opening file within network system module - Failed to    KNSManagerVMakeHttpFileInt('https://sra-downloadb.be-md.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sos4/sra-pub-hup-1/SRR011/11567/SRR11567291/SRR11567291.1' (130.14.250.26)) from '129.59.197.33'
2022-03-09T15:07:37 fasterq-dump.2.9.6 err: file unauthorized while opening file within network system module - error with https open 'https://sra-downloadb.be-md.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sos4/sra-pub-hup-1/SRR011/11567/SRR11567291/SRR11567291.1'
2022-03-09T15:07:37 fasterq-dump.2.9.6 err: invalid accession 'SRR11567291'

The file exists and when downloading other data using the same code (e.g. replace SRR11567291 by SRR12492863) no problems exist, so it seems specific to this dataset. Weirdly enough, some other accession numbers in the same dataset were downloaded successfully.

Does anyone know how to get around this error?

Thanks, Justin
