off-topic: If you use Suite Sparse Matrix Collection often, a Julia interface is available to easily download the matrices:
using SuiteSparseMatrixCollection, MatrixMarket, SparseArrays
ssmc = ssmc_db()
matrices = ssmc_matrices(ssmc, "Freescale", "transient")
paths = fetch_ssmc(matrices, format="MM")
path_transient = joinpath(paths[1], "transient.mtx")
M = MatrixMarket.mmread(path_transient)
