Possibility to download all GEO data locally.

Open bgriffen opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Great library! Just wondering if it is possible to allow bulk downloading of the GEO dataset from the outset rather than when it is queried. I want to speed up development times and having to download the files as they are needed takes up 90% of the analysis time. It would be great if there was a way to just dump all the GSE files into one folder. I understand this is quite large but if I have the space -- can this be added? I looked at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/series/ but I just want the _family.soft.gz files as they are used by GEOparse in a single folder.

Hi,

What would you think about a script to download the data?
