Hi @szehan,

Apologies for the inconvenience. We had a server outage over the weekend due to which Kneaddata databases downloads was failing.

[http://huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu/kneadData\_databases/Homo\_sapiens\_hg37\_and\_human\_contamination\_Bowtie2\_v0.1.tar.gz](http://huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu/kneadData_databases/Homo_sapiens_hg37_and_human_contamination_Bowtie2_v0.1.tar.gz)

The above link works now.

Regards,  
Sagun
