All CRCNS.org data set files are now downloaded from the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC).  The NERSC downloads can be done using a web interface and using a bash script for batch downloading and verification and using a Python script that allows downloading single files using the command line.  These are described below.

Web interface download method.

To download files using the web interface, go to:

https://portal.nersc.gov/project/crcns/download/<dataset_id>

where <dataset_id> is replaced by the id for the dataset (example: pvc-1, hc-3, vim-1, ...).

Login using the CRCNS.org account username and password.

A link to the web interface downloads for each data set is also in the folder for each data set.  To find it, click on the Data Sets link and navigate to the folder for the data set you wish to download.  In that will be a link with the name "<dataset_id> downloads at NERSC".  (Where <dataset_id> is the id for the data set, for example "pvc-1").  Click on the link.  That should open up a page to the downloads for that data set at NERSC.

Batch download method.

The scripts for batch downloading and verifying downloaded files are available at:

https://portal.nersc.gov/project/crcns/download/tools   (Requires logging in using a CRCNS.org account).

Instructions are provided with the scripts.

Python script download method.

Justin Kiggins has kindly made available a Python utility he wrote to download single files from CRCNS.org.  The code and documentation is available at: https://github.com/neuromusic/crcnsget
