Hi, I am currently trying to download multiple SRA repositories and for this installed sra-toolkit and I use the prefetch SRRs command. I am however facing reeeeeally slow download speed (in the order of 100ko/s to 1mo/s). I checked with my IT support and the the limitation is not coming from my side.

prefetch SRR12118334

2022-11-16T09:27:32 prefetch.3.0.0: Current preference is set to retrieve SRA Normalized Format files with full base quality scores.
2022-11-16T09:27:32 prefetch.3.0.0: 1) Downloading 'SRR12118334'...
2022-11-16T09:27:32 prefetch.3.0.0: SRA Normalized Format file is being retrieved, if this is different from your preference, it may be due to current file availability.
2022-11-16T09:27:32 prefetch.3.0.0:  Downloading via HTTPS...

Alternatively using wget with direct ftp link does not work better.

I feel this is not the normal DL speed, and wonder what could be wrong and how to get files faster ? Thx
