problems downloading genome

[Timmywang1]

Hi
kblin,

Meeting error when run following: ncbi-genome-download --species-taxids my_taxids.txt bacteria --formats fasta

ERROR: Download from NCBI failed: ConnectionError(MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /genomes/all/GCF/003/325/715/GCF_003325715.1_ASM332571v1/md5checksums.txt (Caused by NewConnectionError('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7fb2803932b0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable',))",),)

That error indicates you're having a connection issue. Check your internet is working, you're not behind a proxy and that port 443 is open.
