download_IERS_A triggers IndexError

Importing IERS bulletin A is triggering an IndexError - having looked, the URI for the table is generating an error but I can't work out how to tell it to use a different source.

>>> from astropy.utils.data import clear_download_cache
>>> clear_download_cache()

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Is this just a case of "wait until the new tables are published"? I first noticed this on March 28th, if that's helpful.

Thanks!
