(UCSC monDom2, June 2005) from The Broad Institute.

Files included in this directory:

monDom2.2bit - contains the complete monDom2 Opossum Genome
    in the 2bit format.  A utility program, twoBitToFa (available
    from our src tree), can be used to extract .fa file(s) from
    this file.  See also:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you plan to download a large file or multiple files from this directory, 
we recommend you use rsync, wget, or ftp rather than downloading the
files via our website. To do so, anonymous ftp to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu,
go to the directory goldenPath/monDom2/bigZips/.

To download multiple files via ftp, use the "mget" command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - or -
    mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) 

The rsync command to download the entire directory:
    rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom2/bigZips/ .
For a single file, e.g. chromFa.tar.gz
    rsync -avzP \
     rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom2/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz .

Or with wget, all files:
    wget --timestamping \
	'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom2/bigZips/*'
With wget, a single file:
    wget --timestamping \
    'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom2/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz' \
	-O chromFa.tar.gz

To unpack the *.tar.gz files:
    tar xvzf <file>.tar.gz
To unpack the fa.gz files:
    gunzip <file>.fa.gz

All the tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
