[Genome] BLAT search Inquiry

[Shutao]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a large batch queries need to be performed for academic 
research. I am wondering what is efficient ways to access your data. 
The following is the message I received from your BLAT search site.

"There is a very high volume of traffic coming from your site (IP 
address 131.243.59.247) as of Tue May 8 10:45:41 2007 (California 
time). So that other users get a fair share of our bandwidth, we are 
putting in a delay of 10.1 seconds before we service your request. This 
delay will slowly decrease over a half hour as activity returns to 
normal. This high volume of traffic is likely due to program-driven 
rather than interactive access, or the submission of queries on a large 
number of sequences. If you are making large batch queries, please 
write to our genome at cse.ucsc.edu public mailing list and inquire about 
more efficient ways to access our data. If you are sharing an IP 
address with someone who is sumitting large batch queries, we apologize 
for the inconvenience. Please contact genome-www at cse.ucsc.edu if you 
think this delay is being imposed unfairly."


Thank you very much for your assistance.
