Cannot download BUSCO datasets

Hello, everyone!

I tried to perform BUSCO analysis of my genome assembly, but encountered a problem. I failed to download glires_odb10 dataset through busco --download option, also manual download didn't work for me since I cannot reach https://busco-data.ezlab.org/v5/data/ for some reason. Could someone share the glires_odb10 with me? Or maybe there is a solution of the issue, another datasets storage or mirror?

You could try downloading from a different ISP, if your work is blocking the site. Website is up and available.

Thanks, I think the problem really could be due to my current location, I will try it!

The repository of BUSCO datasets is unavailable in several countries, see https://gitlab.com/ezlab/busco/-/issues/626
I made a copy of them on my own site https://mikeshelk.site/Data/BUSCO_datasets/BUSCO_datasets_current_as_of_2024-03-22/

Thanks a lot! I knew there must be something wrong with my country, but it seemed strange to me that datasets page was unavailable from Singapore too... Anyway, thank you very much!
