Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

This extension enables the use of IBM Aspera Connect with Chrome. This extension requires the IBM Aspera Connect application, version 3.9.0 or newer.

The purpose of this extension and the corresponding desktop application is to move large files FAST from your computer to an IBM Aspera server.

You need to have an account on an Aspera server to move files.

FASP is the protocol used to move files much faster than is possible over TCP/IP. The application has to be where the network is.

Privacy statement: This extension is activated only by websites that integrate IBM Aspera to transfer files. This extension does not read or store any personal information.

Annoying having to download software to receive transfers

Profiles cannot be downloaded via this project. The imagine of "Starting the IBM Aspera Connect" displayed on the top of the Chrome, then nothing happened.

I honestly do not understand any of the negative reviews. I am running Chrome on Ubuntu and have had no issues downloading datasets from The Cancer Imaging Archive. I don't normally leave reviews but I was surprised to see so many 1 star reviews. Works fine.

Aspera wants to run all the time. It's not a background application either. Force quit? No dice, it just respawns ... and respawns ... and respawns. We're past the days where something has to be running 100% of the time when you use it 0.001% of the time. Let me quit the app when it's not needed! Also, restating what others have said already, I download multi-gigabyte files in the browser now -- I don't need an archaic app for this. The only reason I have to use this ridiculous app is to appease some CIO's delusional belief that this app is more secure for file sharing than the 1MM other options available today. I use this so infrequently, I'll delete the app to get it to quit and reinstall as needed -- can't believe it's the end of 2021 and I need to say that.

Connect was working fine until today when I couldn't connect at all. I'm wasting my time to establish connection but nothing is helping.

I need to download the aspera extension for files of 500mb+. I have downloaded it. tried too added in to the extensions folder in the safari browser. I get the message again that the extension is missing. I can't select it in the preferences either. Then I tried google chrome, where I run into the same problem. In short, really a shame and badly programmed.

As far as I can tell, this does absolutely nothing. After installing the extension and the application, both of which work independently, I still get messages saying that I need to install the application. Even when the application is open and running, no downloads start.
