Interproscan in Blast2go is too slow, so I am trying to download the Interproscan DB at the same time as scanning against the CDD and HMMPfam DB only here: https://interproscan-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/LocalLookupService.html
Two hours after starting the download, the screen I saw was...
https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/unix/iprscan/5/5.62-94.0/lookup_service_5.62-94.0.tar.gz

Why is it too slow? Maybe because I work in Korea? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

With aria2 and multiple connections, I download at ~2.2MiB. The estimate is still ~190 hours.
aria2c --continue=true --max-connection-per-server=8 --min-split-size=1M https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/unix/iprscan/5/5.62-94.0/lookup_service_5.62-94.0.tar.gz
It might be your university proxy server.
You can try with wget --no-proxy https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/unix/iprscan/5/5.62-94.0/lookup_service_5.62-94.0.tar.gz (if allowed) or trying from your home PC and transferring by hard disk if all else fails.
Else talk to your local IT people to better understand why it is so slow.
