Question

Question Posted 05/21/13:
I am attempting to download all Study Data from ADNI@LONI.

In the Download Study Data page, I have clicked on ALL and checked both "Select ALL tabular data (csv format)" and "Select ALL documents and zip files [30.0 GB]". Downloading starts after clicking on "Donwload>>".

After more than a day of downloading, I get a "download.zip" file that wheighs 30 GB. I am unable to unzip this file without errors on a Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) machine. The data unzipped from the 30 GB "download.zip" wheighs only 7GB. It looks like the genotype results are lost in the process.

Do you have any clue that could help us? Has this issue ever been reported?

I'm not certain how to contact Diana Truran or Karen Crawford, I don't work at LONI.

Anyway, I've isolated the bug and found a workaround:

The ZIP file has probably been generated by Java software since most LONI software is written in Java. It looks like ZIP files created by Java programs may be uncompatible with unzip.

I was able to unzip the file using Java's "jar" command:
jar xf download.zip
instead of using unzip:
unzip download.zip

After reading a few posts here and there on the Web, it looks like the bug is on the Java side and not the unzip side. You might want to fix the code that creates the ZIP files o the fly on the LONI Web server.
