When I try to run fastq_screen --get_genomes, I get an error:

> fastq_screen --get_genomes
Downloading FastQ Screen Genomes
Connecting to www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk (149.155.133.4:80)
wget: bad address 'www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.ukprojects'
Could not run command 'wget --no-check-certificate www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastq_screen/genome_locations.txt'

What does work is to run the download from https, so maybe something with the redirect is off:

> wget --no-check-certificate https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastq_screen/genome_locations.txt
Connecting to www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk (149.155.133.4:443)
saving to 'genome_locations.txt'
genome_locations.txt 100% |********************************************************************************************************************************************************************|   190  0:00:00 ETA
'genome_locations.txt' saved

So, probably it could be fixed by changing this line to https:

my $location_file = 'www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastq_screen/genome_locations.txt';

But it probably would be even better to get the download running with the old URL again, such that old versions still work.

I used FastQ-Screen version 0.16.0:

> fastq_screen --version
FastQ Screen v0.16.0
