rsync -avh rsync://rsync.bmrb.io:/macromolecules/ bmrb_entries

Run this command to download the BMRB macromolecule archive, excluding timedomain data:

rsync -avh --exclude timedomain_data rsync://rsync.bmrb.io:/macromolecules/ bmrb_entries

Run this command to download the BMRB metabolomics archive, including time domain data:

rsync -avh rsync://rsync.bmrb.io:/metabolomics/ bmrb_metabolomics

Run this command to download the BMRB metabolomics archive, excluding time domain data:

rsync -avh --exclude nmr rsync://rsync.bmrb.io:/metabolomics/ bmrb_metabolomics
