How to retrieve multiple genbank (full) records using Edirect or other tools?

Question

[supertech]

I want to download all the archaeal genbank (full) records; after the following search in the NCBI Nucleotide search box.

archaea[filter] AND (complete genome[ti]) NOT shotgun[ti] NOT plasmid[ti]

Browser download is taking too long, I want to run a script or use Edirect command line to download to a server. Edirect, Perl, Python or R solutions are ok.

Thank you.

You can't download full genome sequences using Entrezdirect. You can parse assembly reports available from GenBank to get the ftp links and get data that way.
