108+ `Globus `_ is a fast, reliable file transfer service that makes it easy for users to move data between two or many places
109+ or between a server and a user’s machine (Windows, Mac or Linux). Globus automates the activity of managing file
110+ transfers: monitoring performance, retrying failed transfers, recovering from faults automatically whenever possible,
111+ and reporting status.
112+ Users can download data through `Globus `_ using collection `EMBL-EBI Public Data `_

137+ Please Note: *While HTTP(S) downloads are supported, Globus is primarily designed for high-performance, reliable,
138+ and secure transfers of large datasets. The Globus transfer service uses protocols like GridFTP and optimized TCP
139+ settings to maximize throughput and reliability, especially for multi-file or large-file transfers.
140+ So it is strongly recommended to use Integration tools provided by Globus because it offers better speed,
141+ resume capability, and error handling compared to standard HTTP downloads. *
