Hi,

I am trying to download the blast_db and keep getting the following md5 error using both the html and from the command line. Any ideas please?

thanks

Problem with nt.00.tar.gz.md5. Please run getblastdb again to check if files are missing

Hi,

At the moment I don't know what the problem is.
As an alternative use the NCBI update_blastdb.pl script

  $ cd /blastdb

  $ update_blastdb.pl --passive --decompress nt
  # or
  $ update_blastdb.pl --passive --decompress ref_prok_rep_genomes

Hi,

thats great- seemed to be a problem with the same nt.00.tar.gz file again, took a few times to actually download and install.

thanks!

Just for info, I used the new version of the getblastdb.py and it kept failing, however, if the script is re-run when it fails then it starts the downloads again. The database is now working fine. Thanks
