FTP server download is extremely slow, making it difficult to use the tool. #2
Description
Hello SSAlign authors,
First of all, thank you for your excellent work on this very promising tool!
I am very excited to try SSAlign, but I have encountered a major issue with downloading the pre-computed databases from your FTP server (ftp://bioinfo.isyslab.info:6004).
When I try to download any of the large database files (e.g., for afdb50 or Swiss-Prot), the download speed is extremely slow, averaging around 40 KB/s. At this speed, it would take many days or even weeks to download a single database, which makes it practically impossible to get started with the tool. I have tested this from multiple networks, and the bottleneck appears to be the server's egress bandwidth.
Would it be possible for you to provide an alternative download link for these large database files? For users in China, a Baidu Netdisk or Aliyun Drive link would be fantastic. For international users, a link from a global cloud provider would also be very helpful.
This would greatly improve the accessibility of SSAlign for new users and allow more people in the community to benefit from your work.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
