I have been getting the following message throughout the whole day today whenever I try to wget anything from the SRA:

I have tried with links that I have used before and know that work, but I get the same error messages. Here are two examples of links so that you can try to reproduce my issue:
ftp://ftp.sra.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/run/SRR638/SRR6389864/possorted_genome_bam.bam
ftp://ftp.sra.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/fastq/SRR548/005/SRR5481335/SRR5481335_1.fastq.gz
Am I having issues in my machine or are the servers for the SRA misbehaving today?
Thanks a lot!!
It may the problem with your network: Downloading in the PC
If I click on the links they seem to be working.
This is so strange. They don't work in my computer. And when I try to download it from an external server (using Google colab) it doesn't work either... Could you try wget and see if you get anything different?
I just checked in two other computers. It looks like they download but they are all empty files... I guess there might be a server issue...
I also have the same problem, does it mean that this is a problem from ebi server?
Yes, I have had intermittent problems for the past 2 weeks when downloading via
wget
onto a machine in Germany.For example:
It looks like the data is available in link ftp://ftp.sra.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/run/SRR124/SRR12492134/ when we use browser
