cda_download.py "--runs latest" fails for a new order #25

This is more of a handy hint for new users, but I would have expected the script to detect this was my first run and download all available data. Instead, I was getting the following message ad infinitum, even though 24 hours had passed and three sets of data were waiting for me.

WARNING: No runs for order o99999999999were found. Don't expect any data.

I eventually realised, removed the "--runs latest" option, and downloaded my initial data.

Once some data has been downloaded, the last run date is set, and "--runs latest" can be put back.

(It would be nice to have a space after the order number).

Have the same issue. I have downloaded runs without "--runs latest" and got all model runs available. However how do you ensure to only download the latest run each time?

Once you have downloaded an initial set of data, you will be okay with putting "--runs latest" back.

It needs a last download date to compare against, but once that is available, it works.

Thanks for your reply. I also just figured it out. It checks against your folder "latest" and the included txt file what was the latest run that was downloaded and returns empty if already downloaded
