Originally posted by **tsilas3** July 7, 2023 I know I can use `.download()` with FastHerbie to download grib files themselves, but when creating a Herbie object for a given date/time/forecast hour, it still uses AWS to get the associated `.idx` files even if the grib files are available locally. Is there a way to download the `.idx` files in the same way? If I'm understanding correctly, this would mean I would be able to run Herbie code without an internet connection.
