Hi, when trying to run the rsync command mentioned in the documentation, an error occurs:

 rsync -rpltvz --delete rsync.ebi.ac.uk::pub/databases/opentargets/platform/25.03/output/disease .
rsync: [Receiver] safe_read failed to read 1 bytes: Operation timed out (60)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(283) [Receiver=3.4.1]

Hi, Could you please give it an other go? Sometimes EBI FTP service can be somewhat unstable. Did the rsync commands work?

I couldn’t replicate (from outside EMBL-EBI network):

❯ rsync -rpltvz --delete rsync.ebi.ac.uk::pub/databases/opentargets/platform/25.03/output/disease .

Transfer starting: 2 files
disease/
disease/disease.parquet

I’ve been trying since 2 hours, it still times out for me. I’m behind a NAT with port 873 redirected.
I tried the wget option and it worked well.
