nclever and web only methods available for NCBI access?

[Timothy M. Kunau (CBC)]

We cannot be the only group asking this question,

We need to automate the download of sequences and updates from NCBI.
They do provide a web interface:


    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/batch.html


We have looked at nclever. For various reasons, this has been
unwieldy.

What other methods are available to download sequences in a batch form?

Thanks,

Tim
