2. If you a lot of samples to download, running prefetch command one by one is a lot of work. To automate the process, you can find the accession IDs from the website and put them in a loop to download one by one. For example to download SRR6519510 to SRR6519519:
   for i in {6519510..6519519}; do
   prefetch SRR$i;
   done
   
3. If you have more than a dozens of samples to download, running one by one needs lot of time. You can run them in parallel, For example you submit 5 jobs, let each job work on 100 accession IDs. Because these 5 jobs share the same network from O2 to NCBI cloud, these parallel prefetch commands will run slower than in serial mode. Not sure how much slower. Please share your experience.
