Download via wget command is stopped

I tried to download vJan25 from the MetaPhlAn4 database, but the download keeps stopping.

The following is the code I ran and the result.

wget -c http://cmprod1.cibio.unitn.it/biobakery4/metaphlan_databases/mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.tar

As you can see, the download speed is displayed as –.-KB/s and the remaining download time increases.

Why is this issue occurring, and how can it be resolved?

I also tried running the ‘metaphlan --install’ command, but the download keeps stopping.

Thanks.

Hi. Not a member of the Biobakery development team, but the download link you shared appears to work fine. Perhaps you can try directly pasting the link into a browser and downloading the tar file to check if this approach works.

Thanks.
