[Bio-Linux] TaxInspector

[Tim Booth]

Hi Ian,

I've not looked at TaxInspector in a long while.  It really should be
modified to run off the official web services but this requires adding
some fairly substantial caching code.

Anyway, I digress.  That link no longer exists (it points to a server in
CEH Oxford and CEH Oxford closed 2 years ago!) but the file you want
should be this one:

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/taxdmp.zip

Does that work for you?  It may be that there are firewall issues with
using FTP, which is why I used an HTTP link in the first place.

Cheers,

TIM
