If you want to download from NCBI, then the key is to get the so-called 'runinfo' file. The 'runinfo' file is a simple CSV table which lists sequencing runs in the 'sra' database and their download links. After you have obtained the 'runinfo' file, you can write a short script to download the run data one after each other.

You can download the 'runinfo' file with wget:

wget 'http://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/sra.cgi?save=efetch&rettype=runinfo&db=sra&term=PRJNA223640' -O - | tee SraRunInfo.csv

This project comprises about 150 sequencing runs. Each run has a size of more than 1 Gb. You should have a good concept of how to organize and further process the data before actually starting the download.

yes. Is there any way to process this data.

Echoing ifudontmind_plzz would it be possible to get an example of the code to use the csv file for the download?

Is this command provided by piet still supposed to work? It returned an empty file for me.

[UPDATE] I realised my bioproject does not have SRA files, but "biosamples" - that's why it's not working..
