The easiest way to acquire SRA data is to (1) <a href="/sra/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">search</a> for data sets of interest, (2) click on an Experiment of interest from the results to learn more, (3) click on one of the “SRR” accessions that comprise the experiment (this will lead you to the <a href="http://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/sra.cgi?view=run_browser" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">SRA Run Browser</a>), and (4) click on the “Download” tab for this data set. You will be presented with the option to download the individual data set (“Run”), all related datasets within the same Experiment, and all data for the entire Study. HTTP, FTP, and Aspera links can be directly accessed through a web browser on this page. Please note that download via Aspera requires installation of the free <a href="http://downloads.asperasoft.com/download_connect/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Aspera Connect</a> plugin. FTP links may be directly copied into a FTP client for browsing or download, if you prefer.</p></blockquote></div><div><h4 id="download_data_SRA.what_is_aspera_connect">What is Aspera Connect?</h4><blockquote><p>Aspera Connect is a free software package that allows you to transfer data files using a browser plugin or a command line program called ascp (Aspera secure copy) on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh operating systems.</p><p>The Aspera Connect Fast And Secure Protocol (fasp) uses a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">User Datagram Protoccol</a> (UDP) rather than the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Transmission Control Protocol</a> (TCP) used by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">File Transfer Protocol</a> (FTP) — making Aspera much faster than FTP, so a transfer over a long distance is less likely to end in the middle of the transmission.</p><p>When you want to systematically download a large number of files, use the ascp command line program that is included in the <a href="http://www.asperasoft.com/en/products/client_software_2/aspera_connect_8" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Aspera Connect download</a> instead of the Aspera Connect web plugin.</p><p>Some important Aspera Connect Features:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The ability to restart if your data transfer is interrupted midstream</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Will run as a lower priority task if there is other data traffic on your network connections to avoid starving other protocols that you have running.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Effective throughput up to 600 Mbps to a single site.</div></li></ul></blockquote></div><div><h4 id="download_data_SRA.which_version_of_asper">Which version of Aspera Connect Software do I need?

If you experience any transfer problems or find that your transfer speed is below what you expect, update to the most recent version of Aspera Connect when you trouble-shoot your transfer problem.</p><p><b>Notes:</b></p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>There is no time limit on your Aspera Connect key; you can use it for downloading SRA data as long as NCBI/SRA contracts with Aspera.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>When you download the Aspera Software, be sure you are downloading the <a href="http://www.asperasoft.com/download_connect/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Aspera Connect <i>Client Software</i></a>, rather than the Aspera Connect <i>Server Software</i>.</div></li></ul></blockquote></div><div><h4 id="download_data_SRA.when_should_i_use_aspe">When should I use Aspera Connect to download SRA data, and when should I use the Aspera secure copy (ascp) command line program?</h4><blockquote><p>Use Aspera Connect if you want to download files through an internet browser.
