[DAS] ldas server limits

[Russell, Archie]

the DAS advantage was that things would be in a common format from different
providers.  this makes data integration a snap, but i guess doesn't work for
large amounts of data.  if i download flatfiles, data integration becomes
harder--unless they are in some common format like GFF--not tab-delimited
files meant for loading into tables.  any ideas?

Don't even think of doing that!  It would be much more efficient to download

the Ensembl flat files.
