WVP global download is rejected by server (oftentimes) #44

Problem

The download of WVP global data base (http://hs.pangaea.de/sat/MODIS/Frantz-Stellmes_2018/wvp-global.tar.gz) tends to close the connection too early:

Error in curl::curl_download(url = "http://hs.pangaea.de/sat/MODIS/Frantz-Stellmes_2018/wvp-global.tar.gz",  : 
  transfer closed with <some number> bytes remaining to read

The download is also problematic from a web browser.

Solution

Regarding the runs in Spider, we can hard-install this file, and provide a method that forces updates when necessary.

I cannot see a cleaner solution, the problem seems to be at the server's side.
