[Genome] UCSC Genome browser data on portable disk?

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Morning Inus:

Please note, if you do not need all of the assemblies we host, it
is possible to create a browser with a subset of data.  Please note
the minimum set of tables needed for a browser:

Your data transfer problem wouldn't be over after an initial load.
You would need to keep your mirror data updated which requires
a continuing need for bandwidth.

I'm curious, what is the difficulty with the data transfer at your location ?
Is it because of a limited bandwidth connection, or is there a fee charged
for amount of data transferred ?
