SSBD:downloads provides download links, folder guides, and command examples for SSBD datasets. This page is designed for researchers who want to download data without advanced command-line knowledge.
All data can be used according to their respective licenses. Please refer to SSBD:repository and SSBD:database for license details.
To avoid excessive load on the download server, please keep the parallel download settings moderate, for example -x 4 -s 4 -j 2. Start with the folder guide below, then choose either a fast download method or a verified download method.
How to download and verify files
- Use
aria2cif you want faster downloads. - Use
wget -x -nHif you want to keep the folder structure from the server. - Use
sha256sumormd5sumto check that downloaded files match the published checksums.
Important: aria2c downloads files into the current folder and does not recreate the original folder paths from the URLs. Because of this, checksum verification may fail when the checksum file includes paths.
If you want checksum verification to work reliably, use wget with directory creation enabled and run the checksum command from the dataset directory.
What is in each folder?
source/Bundled archive files for image datasets in SSBD:database.raw_image/Microscopy and image datasets published in SSBD:database.
If both bundled files and individual files are available, bundled files are usually easier to download and manage.

Fast download
Use this method when download speed is the priority.
aria2c -c -x 4 -s 4 -j 2 --min-split-size=100M -i source-manifest.txt aria2c -c -x 4 -s 4 -j 2 --min-split-size=100M -i raw_image-manifest.txt
Verified download
Use this method when you want to preserve folder paths for checksum verification.
wget -x -nH -c -i source-manifest.txt wget -x -nH -c -i raw_image-manifest.txt
