Hi Robert and Dan, Out server was down during the weekend and it looks Dropbox has blocked downloading files programmatically. Anyway our server is back. Please try again.

Getting the same error.  The file is not available from Dropbox.

I am having this same problem and think it is due to my employer blocking dropbox for data security reasons.   Is there any alternative download site?

I am having the same problem. I was able to download last week but unable to download this week.

I am having the same problem too. By modifying the getSRAdbFile() function a bit, I've noticed that none of the 3 SQLite backup GZ files are available. I will email the maintainers.

 

By the way: the previous SRAdb version returned ByExp FTP addresses for the SRA files, however the NCBI SRA's "ByExp" arborescence no longer seems to exist as of recently (though ByRun and ByStudy still do: ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/sra-instant/reads/). I don't know why this has happened but it might be an issue.

I received a reply from Jack Zhu for SRAdb and from Rick Lapoint for the SRA. I'm copying the essence of those answers here:

  • this error is common when the SRAdb package version is out-of-date.
    (in my case this is because my R version is out-of-date, which is in turn due to my operating system being too old for the latest R version)
  • the SRA has changed its file hierarchy, essentially retiring the "ByExp" arboresence. The FTP addresses provided in SRAdb have not yet been updated to reflect this.
  • Jack provided a download link for the latest version of the SRAdb database: https://s3.amazonaws.com/starbuck1/sradb/SRAmetadb.sqlite.gz

 

Hope this helps,
