Hi Thomas, The problem is that the files are compressed. You can download the files from the ftp site and uncompress them locally. Then set the data dir to file:///localdir/. This should work. If you are loading the whole pdb it is wise to exclude the following entries: * 1htq (file too large for parsing) * 2hyn (file too large for parsing) * 2ad1 (CifParseException line 444) * 2etg (CifParseException line 493) * 2gwh (CifParseException line 630) * 2i2q (Data truncation: Data too long for column 'date_author_approval') And probably give java a bit more memory if possible. I also modified PDBase to run in batch mode (without the gui). I might post about this later. Contact me if you are interested.
