I have a slow internet connection. Can I download SeaDAS in smaller pieces?

Yes, all the SeaDAS distribution files are available in 10MB pieces that can be downloaded and then joined back together to create the original full file. These split files are available from:  ftp://samoa.gsfc.nasa.gov/seadas/seadas_split/

For example, to download and join the SeaDAS Ubuntu 7.1 distribution you would do the following:

1) ftp to ftp://samoa.gsfc.nasa.gov/seadas/seadas_split/distros/

2) Download all the Ubuntu file pieces (e.g. if you're using an ftp command-line client issue the command "mget seadas_ubuntu7.1*"). This will download the files:

   seadas_ubuntu7.1.tar.gz00
   seadas_ubuntu7.1.tar.gz01
   seadas_ubuntu7.1.tar.gz02
   seadas_ubuntu7.1.tar.gz03
   seadas_ubuntu7.1.tar.gz04
   seadas_ubuntu7.1.tar.gz05


3) Join these files to create the original distribution file:

   cat  seadas_ubuntu7.1*  >seadas_ubuntu7.1.tar.gz
