[Bioperl-l] Bio::DB::Query::GenBank

[Aaron J. Mackey]

If you try again late at night (meaning late at night EST), you may get 
all 5000 hits; NCBI seems to have implemented a limit of 500 entries in 
batch retrieval when network load is already high, but you may be 
successful during non-peak hours ...
