You'll need to wait until the history is ready for download -- i.e., Galaxy provides a .gz file rather than a Webpage at that URL -- before using wget. Galaxy returns a webpage (text/html) while preparing the history for download; this is likely what you are downloading now. Good luck, J. On Jun 13, 2013, at 4:16 PM, Doan, Ryan wrote:

Hello,

Several people in our lab would like to download all of their histories from their respective Galaxy accounts. We tried to download them using the following steps:

Select “Export to File”

Copy the provided link and paste into WGet.exe program as follows:

wget.exe --no-check-certificate https://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/export_archive?id=e0b0f57abd62f2aa -O F:\Galaxy\Ryan\rnd003bucknell.edu\Cattle_seq.galaxy

However, we seem to be getting an error on all files from all of their accounts and no files are being saved. See below for cmd prompt output.

Resolving main.g2.bx.psu.edu... 128.118.250.4 Connecting to main.g2.bx.psu.edu|128.118.250.4|:443... connected. WARNING: cannot verify main.g2.bx.psu.edu's certificate, issued by `/C=US/O=Inte rnet2/OU=InCommon/CN=InCommon Server CA': Self-signed certificate encountered.

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: unspecified [text/html] Saving to: `C:/Users/RDoan/Documents/Lab_Files/Analysis_Programs/Galaxy/test.txt

Is this the correct method to download histories or is there a better solution?

Thank you for your help! Ryan
