[Zinc-fans] wget-ting sdf files

[John J. Irwin]

Hi Elite158

Thanks for your interest in ZINC, and your query about downloading the
database using multiple sequential calls of wget. If you run wget via
the c-shell scripts we distribute, then they should run sequentially,
and there should be no problem. You can get wget for windows from our
website should you need it.  http://wget.docking.org/. Most other
operating systems have wget built in or make it easy to acquire.

Good luck!

John
