In order to download more data, you can programmatically query our web services for a list of projects or a list of project XML files by date. iProX provides RESTful web service APIs to get a list of projects or a list of project XML files by day, by month, or by year. Then you can download all files for each project in the command line with Aspera. After installing the Aspera Connect plug-in, you then need to run the command, from Aspera's bin directory.

Mac or Linux: ./ascp -d -QT -l1000m -P 33001 --file-manifest=text -k 2 -o Overwrite=diff username@download.iprox.org:/path/to/dataset /local/path/

Windows: ascp -d -QT -l1000m -P 33001 --file-manifest=text -k 2 -o Overwrite=diff username@download.iprox.org:/path/to/dataset /local/path/

The part for "/path/to/" is "/data/iprox/" and "dataset" is the IPX number of the project in iProX. The part for "/local/path/" is your local directory which you want to download . "Username" is the username of your account in iProX. Aspera will then prompt you for a password, which is the password of your account in iProX.

In order to download a single file by aspera command line, you can add the file name behind the string "dataset/" in the source path of the Aspera's command line.
