parallel-fastq-dump - 0.6.7-3 main

NCBI fastq-dump can be very slow sometimes, even if you have the resources
(network, IO, CPU) to go faster, even if you already downloaded the sra
file. This tool speeds up the process by dividing the work into multiple
threads.
.
This is possible because fastq-dump have options (-N and -X) to query
specific ranges of the sra file, this tool works by dividing the work
into the requested number of threads, running multiple fastq-dump in
parallel and concatenating the results back together, as if you had just
executed a plain fastq-dump call.
