Hi Michael, The reason it is slow is because of the large amounts of data in that directory. We recommend that you make direct links to the data that you used for the paper.
This can be done by going to the directory: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/hg18/database/ and then put your cursor over the link and then right click and copy the link location. Note: this process might vary depending on the type of browser you are using. For instance the direct link to the simpleRepeat track data would be: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/hg18/database/simpleRepeat.txt.gz Hope this helps!

The journal editors are complaining that the URL is not working. It does seem to be working, but it takes more than 60 s to return a response. Is this the best URL to use for this data? (It is where I downloaded the data myself.) Is it normal that it should be so slow?
