A simple replacement of NBIA data retriever.
Usage: nbia_cli_darwin [global options]
Global options:
-i, --input Path to tcia file
-o, --output Output directory, or output file when --meta enabled (default: downloads)
-x, --proxy Proxy
-t, --timeout Due to limitation of target server, please set this time out value as big as possible (default: 1200000)
-p, --process Start how many download at same time (default: 1)
-m, --meta Get Meta info of all files
-v, --version Show version
--debug Show debug info
--help Show this helpJust noticed original NBIA add tar wrapper of real dcm files
Now I add a tar wrapper to decompress the dcm files.
At the same time, I cannot check the download progress of single file anymore.
Therefore, I use a json file to record information of single seriesUID, and mark the relevant file of the seriesUID has been downloaded.
Issues with NBIA data retriever:
- Cannot resume download, if there is any error occurs, have to download all files from the beginning
- Swing is kind of heavy, and cannot run it in server
Advantages:
- Proxy like
socks5://127.0.0.1:1080orhttp://127.0.0.1:1080 - Resume download
- Command line
Known issues:
- The
public.cancerimagingarchive.net/nbia-download/servletusePOSTto transfer data from server to local , the connection may be terminated even before the download is complete. Therefore, PLEASE set timeout as huge as possible - progress bar is a mess when using multiple process
- I do not have a account of NBIA, therefore this program could not handle the restricted data for now.
