Hello CESMDiscuss users:

I am attempting to download the input data for a test run for CTSM5.2.0 and CTSM5.4.0.

compset: IHistClm50BgcCrop
res: f09_g17
Below i post an example from CTSM5.2.0, where i have everything but one file.

Cheers,
-Jonathan

Thanks, Jim.
The Hortense system is down for maintenance this week, so I will try again next week.

Cheers,

Hi Jim,

I tried to do the manual download, but it seems to be timing out.

Hello Jim,
I have worked with IT at Hortense, and they think part of the problem is the random server link.

"
I tried on my side, and it works equally badly from my home than from Hortense. The issue is that Director | Pelican Platform redirects to a random mirror server, and then depending on where you land you get a different response.

For instance, this is from my home, in the following case I landed in https://amst-fiona.nationalresearchplatform.org and that resulted in a 500 error, which means that that server is missconfigured

$ wget https://osdf-data.gdex.ucar.edu/nca...0.9x1.25_SSP2-4.5_1850-2100_78pfts_c240216.nc

...
and in a third case I landed onto a Spanish server, that one started the download, but it was extremely slow at 600 kb/s
