Thanks, this was extremly helpful (after adding downloadurlmangle=s/$/ncbi.tar.gz/). One remaining question: I frequently observed that uscan gave up with something like in this case: ... uscan info: Requesting URL: http://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/old/20160908/ncbi.tar.gz uscan warn: In directory ., downloading http://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/old/20160908/ncbi.tar.gz failed: 500 read timeout uscan info: Failed to download upstream package: 20160908 ... The solution in this case is always to simply use the download URL with wget. Am I the only one who observes that uscan is way less robust in the actual download process than wget or is this simply a bug in uscan? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
