Downloading the dataset via command line

[NeelayS]

Hi @AlextheEngineer, first of all, thanks for your work!

I wanted to know whether you have a suggested way for downloading the dataset via the command line to a remote Unix machine. Previously, I was able to download the Ego2Hands dataset using curl (following the method suggested here). However, I am not able to download Ego3DHands in the same way.

Do you have any suggestions for how I can download it? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your interest. I would first download it to a local machine and then transfer it to the remote machine. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, it would not be feasible for me to do that since the dataset is pretty large. In that case, would you recommend some other way?

[AlextheEngineer]

The dataset is provided as mutiple rar files, so you would be able to download some and transfer some and delete the transferred ones from the local machine. However, I'm not sure if the remote Unix machine is capable of decompressing the rar files.

Decompressing them on the remote machine won't be a problem. However, transferring them via either scp or rsync would be extremely slow. Just wanted to know whether you had any thoughts? Thanks.
