From https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ega/about/ftp-aspera:

Aspera is a faster alternative to FTP and provides greater user control enabling individual transfer rates and bandwidth sharing to be set.

How to use Aspera for your data:

• Download ASPERA (linux version) to your home area
• Unpack (tar xvfz)
• install (sh unpacked_file_name)
• Add the bin to your path (.bash_login file)
• You run aspera like this (if installed in your home area):

ascp -QT -l 300m -P33001 -i ~/.aspera/connect/etc/asperaweb_id_dsa.openssh [email protected]:/vol1/fastq/SRR741/007/SRR7410907/SRR7410907_1.fastq.gz .

Enjoy!
