Hi,<br><br><br>We have a local galaxy instance running on mac osx connected to a mysql database. We are having an issue downloading files which are &gt; 2Gb. I&#39;ve read posts on this mailing list that mention that there is a browser limit on downloading files of this size, which is fine -- a command-line method would be okay. Furthermore, I&#39;ve read some solutions that mention using either wget or curl along with the link from the &#39;disk icon&#39; in the history to download the data. We&#39;ve tried both curl and wget, which seem to work fine with files &lt; 2Gb, but again fails with the larger files. Wget will tend to time-out, and attempts to retry over and over (wget &#39;address-from-galaxy-history&#39;) and curl will hang forever as well (curl -O &#39;address-from-galaxy-history&#39;).<br>

<br>Attempts have been made to both download the data from the host computer to itself, and from the host to a remote computer. Are we perhaps missing some critical configuration setting?<br><br>We would like to stay away from a ftp solution if at all possible.<br>

<br> Is anyone using a simple method to retrieve these large files?<br><br><br>-Roy W.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Roy Weckiewicz<br>Texas A&amp;M University<br>
