I'm downloading all valid dbSNPs from Biomart.org. I

When I ask for a count, there are 5.6M, which is about what
I got a few
months ago when I downloaded a slightly different version
from ensembl.
However, when I do the actual download, I get only 1.9M lines. I
downloaded as tsv as well as xml.

Amir,
can you try 'notify by email' option when downloading a file
and check if the problem still persists?

I used the notify by email mechanism for both. I've been finding that
more reliable than the regular download. I'll mention that I downloaded
a gz, which successfully unzipped, so I don't think it's a problem in
transmission.

Hi Amir,
I am not sure what happened there. I just downloaded the file according
to your spec and got exactly what expected:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] files]$ gunzip martquery_0207220501_510.txt.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] files]$ wc martquery_0207220501_510.txt
  5696142  17088430 124854968 martquery_0207220501_510.txt

so perhaps some temporarily glitch with the server. Could you try
again and if you have any further problem we'll investigate
