[Genome] Running a local database

[Camerlengo, Terry]

What is the easiest way for an individual to install a local mySQL version of
the hg18 assembly? 
 
When I run the following rsync command: 
 
rsync -v --dry-run rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/mysql/
 
I get the following error:
 
rsync: failed to connect to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu: Connection timed out
(116)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(104)
[receiver=2.6.9]
 
When I try to download the data files in golderPath for hg18 from the ftp
site at hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu, I get zip files that are corrupted or cannot
be open on a windows machine. Is this a common issue? 
 
Thanks in advance.
