Is there an issue with the URL for downloading the data? The build command keeps failing with “ERROR: Could not download refcase from any server".

I have created a case named FHIST using CESM2.1.5, but I keep encountering errors when executing the build command. The error message is as follows:

However, this step used to work without any issues before, which is quite strange.

Could anyone help me resolve this issue? I would be extremely grateful!

Same as you. Located in China. And vpn did not help. Recently (about 3 days), I neither could not download the input data, and even manually clicking from the website did not work. Some small files such as the rpointer files, indeed can be easily download, but the large files (> 2GB) would repeat resuming and start over. It seems like there was something wrong with the web server, and the breakpoint download was not supported (?? not sure). Hope it resolved soon.

Yes! I can build successfully by manually downloading the reference cases, but I encounter server response issues when executing the command "./check inputdata --download": svn export failed with output: and errput svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body.

If you download the reference cases data manually and put it in the right directory, then the check_inputdata would skip the download process. PS, the inputdata web server appears to be recovered last night, and you might try the command today.
