Thanks Nadir for your comment. I know about the "save to disk" option, but
you only get it when you have selected a single PDB file..

As for the rest of my summary, here goes:

Paul Emsley and Dima Klenchin pointed to the OCA mirror ar the Weizman
institute (http://bioportal.weizmann.ac.il/oca-docs/mirrors.html)

Cathy Lawson prefers the RCSB search tool. I did not use it before, I tried
it after upgrading my Java RE to 1.5.9, and it works nicely in downloading
multiple files, going to use this in the future.

Ian Tickle points out that with OCA you cannot filter out structures without
SFs deposited. I agree totally that this is necessary, Like Ian I always
recalculate ED maps (or even re-refine sometimes!) before interpreting a
model, especially if a ligand is modelled in. I only skip this when I just
want to do MR...

Hi Flip:
OCA is back to work, now.
To my opinion, it is definitely the best tool around to search for/on 
structures.
I, however, never managed to have these enclosed links work: STING, 
GRASS and Ramachandran.
In OCA, you have to options to download coordinates: If you click on 
"complete with coordinates" the whole file is displayed in your browser 
window. If you then save it, it would include HTML strings. However, if, 
instead, you click on "Save to disk", then you directly download a clean 
pdb file you can directly use.
Hope this helps.
