Server down?

[rdatasculptor]

I am trying to download maps, but the server does not respond properly. Is it down?

If I try e.g. one of the examples in the package:

getData('worldclim', var='tmin', res=0.5, lon=5, lat=45)

Then I get this error:

trying URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/climate/worldclim/1_4/tiles/cur/tmin_16.zip'
Error in utils::download.file(url = aurl, destfile = fn, method = "auto",  : 
  cannot open URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/climate/worldclim/1_4/tiles/cur/tmin_16.zip'

I am interested in this map in particular:

nld <- getData("GADM", country = "NLD", level = 1)

But then I get this error:

trying URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_NLD_1_sp.rds'
Error in utils::download.file(url = aurl, destfile = fn, method = "auto",  : 
  cannot open URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_NLD_1_sp.rds'

I hope it can be solved soon.
Thank you in advance!

Downloads from worldclim also fail!

[Robinlovelace]

In case it helps, you can find copies of most of the data sources elsewhere online. This was my fix:

# old way:
# worldclim_prec = getData(name = "worldclim", var = "prec", res = 10)
# new way (after searching for the relevant dataset and finding it, on Zenodo or similar academic website, and re-uploading it):
if(!file.exists("prec_10m_bil.zip")) {
  u = "https://github.com/Robinlovelace/geocompr/releases/download/1.2/prec_10m_bil.zip"
  download.file(u, "prec_10m_bil.zip")
  unzip("prec_10m_bil.zip", exdir = "prec")
}
worldclim_prec = stack(list.files("prec", pattern = "bil", full.names = TRUE))

server is working again...

Hi @rhijmans great it's fixed. Running the code, it seems to be quite slow, e.g. taking ~15 seconds to download this file:

system.time(download.file("https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/climate/worldclim/1_4/grid/cur/prec_10m_bil.zip", "prec_10m_bil.zip"))
trying URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/climate/worldclim/1_4/grid/cur/prec_10m_bil.zip'

Thanks!

It's still causing issues on our tests, heads-up @Nowosad: https://github.com/Robinlovelace/geocompr/runs/1313968422#step:10:4425

[Robinlovelace]

Think it's fixed now, just a heads-up...

[Robinlovelace]

Heads-up @rhijmans I'm still seeing very slow responses from this endpoint: https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/climate/worldclim/1_4/grid/cur/prec_10m_bil.zip

Flagging here as it caused our CI check to fail: https://github.com/Robinlovelace/geocompr/runs/1757308011#step:4:4421

Is there any way it can be hosted on a faster responding server? Very grateful for the data in any case, many thanks.

Is the service down again? I am getting an error when running

getData("GADM", country = "usa", level = 2)

trying URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_USA_2_sp.rds'
Error in utils::download.file(url = aurl, destfile = fn, method = "auto", :
cannot open URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_USA_2_sp.rds'
In addition: Warning message:

It seems it is down again. I tried with
getData(name = "GADM", country="BRA", level=3 )
And I got the same error message ("trying URL.......cannot open URL....")
Hope the server is working again soon
