genome_updater FIX failed

Question

[emiliomastriani]

Hello guys, I am using genome_updater.sh to download viral sequences. All worked well, but it never can fix (-i option) the missing files (1005 files failed to download). Any idea?

Thank you

genome_updater.sh -d "refseq" -g "viral" -c "all" -f "genomic.fna.gz"

-o "all_virus_genomes" -t 4 -i

There is nothing much you can do, the download may be failing due to many reasons (NCBI file missing, connection issue, etc). You could try it again later to see if it works. You can also try to re-run it with the parameter -p to report all failed urls into a file (*_url_failed.txt).
