Move from wget to curl for downloading files #43

Closed koldunovn closed 4 months ago

The wget is not a standard package on MacOS, while curl is.

As an option: download all files via Python as a separate miniscript, with checks on file checksums, only if there are simple built-in Python download methods available.

This will be system independent also :)

While doing this, a timeout for the data download should be added. For me, the download always runs into eternity while trying to download the land and river zip files. Accordingly, the exception of not having downloaded this data should be integrated into geo_functions.py
