It seems there is no file called latest and when i try to check which one is the latest version (by number) i cannot connect to their ftp sever because it requires me to have password For now i'm using the version from Zenodo, but i would like to get the latest posible. So if anyone could provide me with the actual latest number I woudl appreciate it.

I am having the same issue and I used the 2019 database. However, the pipeline couldn't proceed through KMERFINDER_DOWNLOAD_REFERENCE for me.

error [nextflow.exception.ProcessFailedException]: Process `NFCORE_BACASS:BACASS:KMERFINDER_SUMMARY_DOWNLOAD:KMERFINDER_DOWNLOAD_REFERENCE (NFCORE_BACASS:BACASS:KMERFINDER_SUMMARY_DOWNLOAD:KMERFINDER_DOWNLOAD_REFERENCE)` terminated with an error exit status (1)

I was able to find

references_found.tsv

in the work directory, but it seems that

download_reference.py

couldn't function, or it was missing.
