 <h3>Installation</h3>
 <ol>
   <li>
   Confirm that your system meets the above requirements.</li>
   <li>
   Download GBiB from the <a href="https://genome-store.ucsc.edu/" target="_blank">Genome Browser 
   store</a>
   (see <a href="#License">Licensing Information</a>). Due to the large size of the <em>gbib.zip</em>
   product file, the download time may range from 30 minutes to a few hours depending on your 
   Internet connection speed and distance from UCSC.</li>

 <p>
 In addition to downloading entire track sets, you can also download individual subtracks. The file 
 size of each track is listed next to the track name. If you are unsure of which tracks to select, 
 we recommend the option <em>Default tracks with conservation tables, but no alignments</em>. When 
 downloading large tracks, keep in mind that you cannot delete these tracks and the related data from
 GBiB once you have downloaded them. If you find that you've started downloading the wrong track or a
 track that is too large for your machine, you can cancel the download at any point by clicking 
 <em>Cancel Download Now</em>.</p>
 <p>
 Depending on your network bandwidth, the download can take several minutes or up to a few hours over
 a DSL line. <strong>During the download</strong>, the file <em>gbib-data.vdi</em> will grow in size,
 and <strong>you will not be able to use GBiB</strong>. Once the download is complete, the default 
 tracks should load in less than three seconds for a typical genomic position.</p>
 <p>
 If you are in your GBiB on the command-line you can use a direct rsync command for files of
-interest. For example, if you knew you wanted all the GENCODE tracks on hg19 you could run either
-of the two rsync commands for the North American or European hgdownload servers:
+interest. For example, if you knew you wanted all the GENCODE tracks on hg19 you could run
+this rsync command:
 <pre>
 <code>sudo rsync hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu::mysql/hg19/wgEncodeGencode* /data/mysql/hg19/.</code>
 </pre>
-<pre>
-<code>sudo rsync hgdownload-euro.soe.ucsc.edu::mysql/hg19/wgEncodeGencode* /data/mysql/hg19/.</code>
-</pre>
 <p>
 The above commands will rsync all of the files at the UCSC hgdownload server in the hg19 assembly
 that start with wgEncodeGencode to your GBiB into the hg19 directory. There are some supporting
 files in a hgFixed directory, such as for the publication tracks, that could be mirrored with such
 commands.</p>
 <p>
 Here is another example for hg38 where the following commands would download all the supporting
 encRegTfbs and factorbook tables for the Transcription Factor ChIP-seq Clusters track:
 <pre>
 <code>sudo rsync hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu::mysql/hg38/encRegTfbs* /data/mysql/hg38/.</code>
 </pre>
 <pre>
 <code>sudo rsync hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu::mysql/hg38/factor* /data/mysql/hg38/.</code>
 </pre>
 <p>
 You can also download gbdb files in this manner.
 <pre>
 <code>sudo rsync hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu::gbdb/hg19/multiz100way/phyloP100way.wib /data/gbdb/hg19/multiz100way/.</code>
 </pre>
 
-<pre>
-<code>sudo rsync hgdownload-euro.soe.ucsc.edu::gbdb/hg19/multiz100way/phyloP100way.wib /data/gbdb/hg19/multiz100way/.</code>
-</pre>
-
 <p>The above command would copy the phyloP100way track to display in the GBiB from a local file.</p>
 
 <h3>Offline mode</h3>
 <p>
 GBiB has an offline mode that is particularly useful when you want to ensure that GBiB no longer 
 connects to the Internet once the initial download and setup are complete (for instance, to comply 
 with corporate IT policy). Before going offline, first mirror all the tracks that you will want to 
 access. Then, in the GBiB terminal window type the command: <code>gbibOffline</code>. This command 
 will remove GBiB's network access to the UCSC MariaDB server and download servers.</p>
 <p>
 Once GBiB is in offline mode, the Genome Browser will display an error message if you attempt to
 access a data file not located on your local disk; therefore, we do not recommend this option for 
 general use. To reactivate Internet access, click on the GBiB terminal window and type the command: 
 <code>gbibOnline</code>.</p>

 <strong>Problem:</strong> "No space left on device" error when running gbibAddTools.</p>
 <p>
 In older GBiB's, there is an error in the <code>gbibAddTools</code> command. To fix this command, 
 edit the <code>/home/browser/.bashrc</code> file and change the following line:
 <pre><code>alias gbibAddTools='mkdir ~/bin -p; rsync -avP hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu::genome/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ ~/bin/'</code></pre>
 </p>
 <p>

 The updated commands will install the tools to a location with more disk space available using
 either the North American or European hgdownload servers.

 <!-- Explanation here

 <p>
 In addition to normal Linux commands, GBiB defines some special commands you may use while inside 
 the GBiB terminal's window. These additional commands are documented in the README.txt file on the 
 GBiB terminal's home directory, which can also be accessed via
