Ray is a distributed software that runs better on many cores, and possibly many 
machines.

The number of ranks with this command is 1 (the default).

Assuming you are using a machine with many cores or a cluster, you can set the 
number of ranks with "-n 32"
where 32 is the number of ranks desired.


mpiexec -n 32 Ray -k 75 -i G_shuffled.fastq -search 
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/HUMAN_MICROBIOM/Bacteria/ -o Ray_test


The -search option requires a directory. I suppose that in your case
"ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/HUMAN_MICROBIOM/Bacteria"; is an address and
not a directory. Therefore, Ray will just skip this as it is invalid.
