Hello,

I have been having trouble downloading databases for Multiseq. Upon opening, it asks me if I'd like to download some updates, which always fail. Then going into the "preferences" menu, I am given an option to download even more data, which also fails. It appears that the data sources have been moved. Is it possible to manually download them? When I attempt to do so, the files end up overwritten.

Thank you very much,

Julia
