Description

Thank you for the amazing work, and for sharing the valuable datasets.
I have registered as a credential user and followed the instruction to download the dataset by "wget -r -N -c -np --use ...." command. I am able to download the dataset, but it seems it is downloading as a directory (image by image, file by file, folder by folder), it is too slow given the total dataset size is 4.6TB. I am wondering if there is a link/method that I can download everything in a single zip file, I believe it will be much faster and more convenient.

Thank you

Research direction

Start by reviewing the credential-user download instructions and the reported wget -r -N -c -np --use ... command. Determine whether a single-file download method can be provided for the 4.6TB dataset; done means an available method or documented answer that addresses the reported speed and convenience concern.
