Deprecated database when using ./INSTALL.pl or ./INSTALL.pl --update_db_only

I just cloned the repo and went thought the whole installation process but when running ProphET_standalone.pl with the test files i got no phages detected. I noticed that the database generated with this installation was much smaller that the previous database (~7000 lines instead of ~70000 lines).

During installation I got error 'Error: Unable to read sequence '10744.gb'' for three of the virus families (10662, 10744 and 10699).

i tried running 'UTILS/fetch_genomes_based_on_taxid.pl ' for these three taxids and although it can detect the available genomes the .gb is empty. I also run for some of the other ids and the problem is only for these three.

For now I went around this problem by adding an optional argument (--db_dir) in ProphET_standalone.pl that allows me to point to an older database but it'd be great if you could figure out this problem. Thanks.

You can change the $DOWNLOAD_INCREMENTS value in UTILS.dir\fetch_genomes_based_on_taxid.pl. A smaller value could increase the rate of success for downloading the big database.

I tried to change the original value of 500 to 10 but I still get the same error, is there any other solution?
